Bill That Would Freeze Michigan Property Taxes For New Owners Comes To A Halt In The Senate

We have mentioned this bill a few times in other posts. After the Senate Finance Committee heard testimony from the MI Dept. of Treasury, it was concluded that the cost to local government was too high for the bill to pass. According to the Michigan Association of Realtors website, if passed, the bill would have cost local governments over 90 million dollars over the next 4 years. House bill 4441 that was tied in with 4440 is also dead. - Todd Buckley

It is now even more important than ever to spread the word to all taxpayers about the Taxpayer Protest Rally! Everyday taxpayers need to show up at the Capitol in Lansing on April 18, bring a teabag that we will deliver to the Governor, and tell Lansing politicians to balance their budget by cutting spending and enacting reforms; NOT BY RAISING TAXES ON CITIZENS! Get to the Capitol around 10:00am. Rally starts at 11:00am, but you will need time to park.

Taxspenders are planning to hijack this rally, and demand more and more of YOUR money. We cannot allow the voices of everyday taxpayers to be drowned out. Take the day off work, clear the calendar, gather your family and friends, and head to Lansing on April 18!
