More Taxes Passed

Now three taxes have passed the house.

One more believed to be voted on tonight.

First Tax Vote

The house just passed a tax increase that would eliminate the indexing for Michigan income tax exemption.

This bill will raise the taxes on every person in the state of Michigan.

Let's hope the Senate stands strong.

HIgher Taxes Pass Committee

The Tax Committee passed four bills that will increase taxes on the people of Michigan.

I can't tell you exactly what they will do because what we passed isn't expected to be what we vote on on the floor.

Just so everybody knows, none of the bills had any yes votes from any Republican on the committee.

Off to Tax Committee

The Dems have finished their caucus, so now we can meet in Tax Committee.

These should be easy votes.

Now it starts.

We are FINALLY back in session and there is a call of the house. That means no member is allowed to leave the chambers or the immediate area.

The Dems just went into caucus where the Gov joined them.

I believe this means votes on higher taxes will begin today. Bring em on. Let's see where all the members of the legislature stand.

Shut Down Over

After a brief shut down we have a deal and be state is open again.

Still trying to get all the details.

We will be back in session at noon.

Pete

SHUTDOWN

We are shut down.

The Senate meets again at 12:15 am.

We will see if they pass the continuation budget.
