"...The budget also decreases the amount of revenue sharing headed to the city of Detroit by $5.8 million.Rep. Laura Cox, R-Livonia, said the state revenue sharing formula has focused on "propping up" Detroit for too long.
"The truth is, Detroit has been receiving a disproportionate piece of the pie for a very long time," Cox said, adding that the city has 7 percent of the state's population but gets 55 percent of the state's revenue sharing dollars."

They reduced the amount Detroit gets by a little over 5 Billion. What did they end up giving to Detroit - it doesn't say. It does say they used to get 55% - what percent did they get in this budget? fred
Well, they're not proud enough to make the number easily available.
