GOVERNMENT AFFAIRSCOMMITTEE RECEIVES BRIEFING

FROM MICHIGAN CHAMBERJim Holcomb, Vice President of Business Advocacy, from the MichiganChamber of Commerce provided an overview to the Government AffairsCommittee on their top priorities in Lansing. The Michigan Chamber isprimarily focused on the State’s budget deficit. Their top three prioritiesin regards to the budget include:

• Unrolling the budget to see the details about how the line items are allocated

• Cutting the cost of corrections while maintaining public safety

• Finding leadership to prioritize and make necessary spending cuts

The Michigan Chamber also opposes taking federal stimulus dollars forunemployment benefits. The stipulations to take the money wouldpermanently increase the costs of the program in the future andconsequently raise employers Unemployment Insurance costs.

In addition, they also do not support creating a graduated personalincome tax, since our flat rate of 4.35% is one of the lowest in thenation. For transportation funding, they support moving to a wholesaletax on gas in place of the current tax on consumer consumption. Theyfeel this type of tax is more sustainable by providing a consistentfunding source. The Michigan Chamber does support increasing fundingfor transportation because of the impact on business and the poor qualityof our infrastructure.

The opinions of the Michigan Chamber of Commerce do not reflect anypolicies of the Plymouth Community Chamber of Commerce, but doprovide an interesting perspective for businesses to consider. For moreinformation you can go to their web site www.michamber.com.
