There is a bill pending in Michigan that would implement a graduated income tax. Earn more, pay more in state income tax is the theory. This type of tax has long been debated in Michigan, but now as the governor and the legislator hunt for road funds to repair Michigan roads situation, this tax idea has new life.
The Governors’road repair proposal calls for $2.5 billion in new funds. The graduated income tax would produce $2.5 billion in new revenue. Magic! Problem solved. Or is it solved?
Will the Democrat’s and the Republicans come together in the legislature to pass the new tax and fix the road repair crisis? When the6 come back into session in September we will see. As 5hey say time will tell. Tax increase votes are very difficult votes in the Michigan legislature.
Michigan's road funding impasse could lead to a graduated income tax
