How did the Benton Harbor School District get in the mess it's in? It's $18 million in debt. Its high school is on the verge of being shut down. The state's former consent agreement consultant for Benton Harbor schools, Don Weatherspoon, explains why "the numbers don't work" to keep the district open and how the current situation could have been avoided.
Also, Mikenzie Frost from Sinclair Broadcasting joins the MIRS panel to talk about the political implications of Benton Harbor and the potential of bringing back the idea of expanding the sales tax on services as a revenue source for K-12 schools and local governments if the state gets rid of the sales tax on gasoline.
