Michigan Gov. Whitmer's initial tax plan included $180 checks for tax filers. The state Senate passed a sweeping tax proposal that did not include the checks on Tuesday.
Winnie Brinks said Tuesday."We were hoping that we would be able to get Republican support for that. But unfortunately, they were unwilling to do so."
As the bill was written, the $180 checks would have only been sent out if the bill was implemented by mid-April of this year. Republicans for weeks had refused to side with Democrats to make that immediate effect happen, accusing Whitmer of using the $180 checks to sidestep an automatic income tax rate reduction that would be triggered by the state’s high revenue.The nonpartisan House fiscal agency said in January that the budget surplus could reach over $9 billion by fall and that the state’s revenues could activate a trigger that would permanently lower the income tax rate from 4.25% to 4.05%.
"Senate Republicans protected the automatic income tax rollback that is due to millions of Michigan residents who need permanently lowered taxes, not a one-time gimmick that disappears in one trip to the grocery store," Senate Republican Leader Aric Nesbitt said in a statement.
