| Michigan Restaurant Association Agrees Spending Cuts & No New Taxes |
At a news conference this morning, the Mackinaw Center for Public Policy issued a detailed report pointing out over $3 billion and 90 suggestions that reduce spending and generate revenue for the state. The ideas would solve the state’s budget crisis without raising taxes. In response to the announcement, the Michigan Restaurant Association issued the following statement.
“We were pleased to see the ‘death’ and liquor tax votes go down to resounding bipartisan defeat,” said MRA Public Affairs Director Andy Deloney. “But it's still early in the budget process and these ideas could be considered in their deliberations. Businesses know how to get through tough budget times…they reduce expenditures and look for ways to be more efficient. We encourage legislators and the administration to do the same.” |
