We urgently need change in the way Lansing prioritizes our needs. We ask you to support reforms that will give Michigan’s government the tools we need to deliver public services that support our communities, schools and provide a safety net for people in these hard times.
Please support:
Implement a Graduated Income Tax -- Michigan is one of only seven states with a flat-rate tax. We must modernize our tax code to ensure fairness and equity, while offering a tax cut to 90 percent of Michigan families.
Audit Government Contracts -- Reduce wasteful spending by conducting performance audits on $16 billion worth of government contracts with an eye toward efficiencies -- ensuring Michigan taxpayers are getting the most value for their dollar.
Close Tax Loopholes & Giveaways -- Eliminate tax incentives and loopholes for companies failing to create and retain jobs, while requiring yearly performance reviews for all remaining tax credits and incentives.
Modernize the State's Sales Tax -- Our current sales tax is based on the old economy; we must expand the sales tax to include services and luxury items to ensure stable revenue into the future.
