State Representative Andrew Beeler, R-Port Huron, has taken a stand against what he calls a “baseless opinion” by the attorney general regarding the expiration of a new income tax cut in Michigan.
In response to a lawsuit challenging this opinion, Beeler stated that the attorney general’s move to suggest that the tax cut will expire after 2023 is a manipulation of the law. He asserted that Michigan courts should intervene to uphold the permanent nature of the tax cut.
Despite opposition from Democrats, Beeler and fellow legislative Republicans successfully implemented the income tax cut earlier this year, benefiting Michiganders and small businesses. However, Attorney General Dana Nessel’s interpretation in March, which contradicted the legislative intent, history, and language of the law, indicated that the tax cut would only remain in effect for a single year, potentially raising the income tax rate in January.
