ANSING, Mich. (AP) — Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Friday vetoed Republicans' proposal to permanently cut the state income tax, make more seniors eligible for deductions and restore a child tax credit, saying it would reduce funding for basic government services.
The veto, which was expected, may prompt negotiations between GOP legislative leaders and the Democratic governor, who has called for more targeted tax breaks for retirees and lower-wage workers.......
While Michigan has a $7 billion budget surplus, her administration says it is largely one-time revenue that cannot be counted on in future years.....
“This plan would have cut taxes for every single taxpayer in the state and provided bonus help to seniors and families with children. It did everything the governor promised she would do," House Speaker Jason Wentworth said. "But at the end of the day, she just couldn’t get herself to give that money back to the taxpayers who deserve it.”

First do no good!
Stretchy-faced witch
“Give that money back to the taxpayers who deserve it?”
Shouldn’t it be, “Give the taxpayers more of THEIR money back?”
Beware adopting the language of the left!
Why should the GOO negotiate with this witch to allow her to win on her agenda?
Tax-cuts are only fair and equitable if they are across the board!
One comma changes the meaning.
Obergruppen Fuehrer Gretchen Whitmer will continue to implement her plan for the 1000 year Reich in Michigan until someone puts a stop to her Meine Kampfe vision.
I live in Michigan and she made the state hurt really bad during COVID in order to get more federal COVID funds. That is how she has a 7B surplus. So many businesses closed for good as they couldn’t recover from long lock-down.
