My NO Vote explanation for House Bill 4170. This bill proposes significant and adverse consequences for our communities, our economy, and Michigan families. At first glance, the idea of lowering the individual income tax rate by point 2 percent sounds appealing. However, it's estimated the reduction this bill mandates will reduce state revenue by close to $600 million in its first year, and over $700 million in the following years; and as this bill seeks to make this rollback permanent, there will be less state revenue in years going forward. We cannot assume that Michigan will always have enough revenue to afford this permanent reduction, especially if additional rate reductions are again triggered by an increase in general fund revenue. The argument for passing this bill is that Michiganders need more dollars in their pocket. I completely agree with that sentiment. However, according to the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, a partner of the non-partisan Michigan League of Public Policy, working families earning less than $27k -- which is 20% of income earners in the State -- would save $11 annually. Middle class earners would save $77 annually. The top one percent of earners would see the most savings -- about $2,800. The reality is that when state revenue declines, services are cut, jobs are cut, and those cuts disproportionately harm lower- and middle-income families. Services including veterans' programs, health and emergency services, and municipal revenue are already at risk from unpredictable and abrupt federal budget and personnel cuts. HB 4170 forces the state to either cut essential services or shift the burden onto non-profits offering services and onto local governments. This bill just shifts the costs in ways that make life more difficult for working families. Even the MICHIGAN TREASURY OPPOSES this bill. HB 4170 is fiscally irresponsible and a short-term political talking point.

Libraries have been the citadels of history and information fundamental to free and informed societies. They embody the power to educate, inspire, and challenge us. This legislation is about ensuring that each person has the right to read, explore and learn without censorship; however, it also establishes procedures for challenging the inclusion of materials in library collections. 📗📘📕📖📚Thank you Michigan Library Association for your work and your support. Harper Woods Public Library Grosse Pointe Public Library Detroit Public LibraryThese two remarkable women (Veronica Paiz, MI State Representative and State Representative Carol Glanville) are still working on behalf of Michigan public libraries and have re-introduced the FREEDOM TO READ bills - they are now HB4250 and HB4251. Looking forward to working with them during this new legislative cycle to move these bills through.

Just in time for Women’s History Month, the MI House Republicans are putting the voting rights of millions of women at risk. Their resolution could force married women to pay up to $200 just to prove their citizenship and register to vote. That’s a poll tax. #PinkPollTax
