As we head into Lame Duck—the series of sessions after an election and before the new legislature is seated—the radical left in Lansing have put forward an agenda that prioritizes the tax-takers over the taxpayers. Government spending in our state has increased by nearly 50% in just a few short years and Democrats show no signs of stopping. They have proposed taxes on rainwater, taxes on garbage, as well as taxpayer-funded handouts to Hollywood billionaires and multinational-corporations; but have yet to put forward a serious plan to address the projected loss of 50,000 jobs and the closures of thousands of small businesses due to a recent partisan decision by the Michigan Supreme Court.
