“We’re in the middle of serious budget negotiations focused on making government more efficient through a series of targeted cuts. The DNR director wants to hike hunting and fishing licenses. The governor wants to raise taxes on businesses, and other department heads are falling right in line with those plans, just like they’re probably line dancing in some Irish bar with her right now.”

“Today’s bipartisan vote proves just how unpopular the 2024 Democrat income tax hike really was,” said Borton, R-Gaylord. “Several of our House Democrat colleagues joined House Republicans in our efforts to reverse Gov. Whitmer’s income tax hike. Career politicians like Whitmer shouldn’t be able to twist the meaning of state law in order to grow government and fund their own excessive spending. I’m proud to vote to repeal this income tax hike and return tax dollars to the pockets of hardworking Michigan residents.”
