State Rep. Bradley Slagh issued the following statement after Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced her state budget proposal:

“While I certainly appreciate the governor’s hard work in putting this budget together, and trying to find ways to fix our roads and fund other priorities, I unfortunately think she hit a big pothole on many of these ideas.

“Nearly tripling the gas tax on Michigan’s motorists, increasing taxes on small job providers by treating them like big corporations and picking winners and losers with our senior citizens reminds me of policies that were in place during the Lost Decade.

“I will do my job and work with my colleagues to pass a balanced budget without gimmicks, and which funds priorities without saddling Michigan residents and job providers with significant tax increases. We can do better for our citizens by keeping job-killing policies in the rear view mirror.”
