SBAM and Michigan business groups to hold Tues. 11 a.m. press conference at state Capitol

SBAM and other Michigan business groups, encouraged by the state Senate’s proposal to reduce the cut in the K-12 education budget and phase out the job killing Michigan Business Tax surcharge, are gathering at the state Capitol on Tuesday at 11 a.m. to ask the Michigan House to finish the work started in the upper chamber. Their message: with all budgets now passed it is important that our elected leaders focus on meaningful reforms that will facilitate economic growth and lead to a revitalization of Michigan. Both the Governor and House Democrats have said they favor repeal of the MBT surcharge and now the Senate has put forth a balanced plan to accomplish this goal.
