Michigan Governor Proposes Killing Department of History, Arts, & Libraries, Dropping State Librarian

From Library Journal:

Aiming to consolidate government during lean times, Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm has proposed eliminating the Michigan Department of History, Arts and Libraries via executive order, transferring most Library of Michigan functions to the Department of Education, abolishing the position of State Librarian, and downgrading certain library services, including circulation and interlibrary loan of state materials.
The Library of Michigan, a major component of the department, would be split up.
