The governor is trying to create a false choice. We are sitting on a $9 billion surplus. Michigan families do not have to choose between immediate relief and a permanent income tax cut. twitter.com/CraigDMauger/s

Nesbitt’s counterpart in the House, Rep. Matt Hall does not seem as optimistic about the Dem tax relief plan.
We do not know yet what impact this plan will have on the scheduled automatic income tax rollback, but it probably is not going to trigger it.

This latest scheme crafted behind closed doors appears to be the governor’s newest attempt to cancel the income tax cut that’s due to every Michigan family, worker, and small business this year and every year afterward.

. explains why there's distrust in Lansing thanks to Democrats.
They're trying to undo a tax cut for working families and small businesses to instead give it to big corporations that brought in record profits.
It's wrong. And Republicans are fighting this.

Automatic tax cut coming this year thanks to Republicans but Democrats want to take this away to give it to big corporations.
Taking away this tax cut means small biz + working families will pay more.
Welcome to one party Dem rule. This is why people lose faith in government.

If state law mandates a tax reduction when the state has too much money, so you redirect billions to a cooperate slush fund to avoid that reduction trigger, that is a tax increase. twitter.com/gideond/status

It’s clear Whitmer and Democrats are pushing a tax hike on working families and small businesses.
She’ll use that money to give to big corporations who have seen record profits.
One party Dem rule in Lansing is a disaster for working families and small businesses.

If you're watching the circus Democrats are running in Lansing, here's what they are stopping:
- Tax relief for small businesses
- Tax relief for working families
Time and time again, they voted DOWN tax cuts today. One party Democrat rule is HURTING Michigan.

I asked how a cut in the state income tax would impact this state agency’s goals of business devopment and recruitment.

Yep, the Democrats are setting records alright… for breaking campaign promises.
Not even ONE FULL MONTH into the new term.
And they’re already finding loopholes to raise taxes on working families and small businesses.
Freaky fast.

Democrats are actively trying to raise taxes on working families at the worst possible time.
Even their own caucus member said that messing with this would be “political suicide”.
But here we are. Don’t raise taxes on families!

No committee hearing.
Barring commentary from members (Former clerks!).
All to appease Washington DC party bosses.
And disenfranchising MILLIONS of voters along the way.

Per RNC rules, Democrats just disenfranchised Republican and Independent voters by placing the Republican primary at a time that will cause them to lose more than 80% of their delegates.

There it is.
Democrats are trying to play politics with an income tax hike. They’re misleading the public on this and it’s incredibly disingenuous.
Republicans are fighting for these tax cuts to take effect. Every working family deserves this tax cut. #ReliefNowNotLater

After touting tax cuts for MI residents, today, the Democrats in the House & Senate are trying to cut a deal with Whitmer that would cancel the automatic income tax cut scheduled to happen next year and instead route funding into the Governor’s corporate welfare slush fund.
Quote Tweet
Whitmer, Dem legislative leaders seem hesitant to commit to letting the automatic income tax cut take effect. Say they need to close the books. One option might be to direct that money to SOAR fund. #mileg

Remember: Whitmer said no new taxes last year. Here she is ready to support a tax hike on working families instead of a tax cut.

So let me get this straight:
1) Dems are not interested in giving all working Michiganders a tax cut. Instead they want to hike taxes.
2) Whitmer + Dems want to give the money to big corporations flush with cash.
Now we know their priorities. Got it.
