..."Faced with millions of dollars (click here) of lawful refund claims, Governor Snyder and the Michigan Legislature have egregiously denied the rights of corporate taxpayers by rewriting law retroactively to circumvent the Supreme Court ruling, specifically eliminating millions of dollars of taxpayers' rightful claims to refunds," said Susan Traylor Bittick, Principal and Public Affairs Practice Leader of Ryan. "The retroactive language was added to Senate Bill 156, passed by both chambers, and signed by Governor Snyder in a period of less than 48 hours, and without the benefit of a public hearing. This process was an affront to the many Michigan businesses this bill affects, and the legislation sets a dangerous precedent for future overreach to squash the rights of corporate taxpayers, render tax laws meaningless, and provide unlimited power to the taxing authorities."...
See, I always thought Republicans liked giving money back to businesses. It would seem as though Snyder's bragging about balancing the budget comes first.
Republican dogma demands that tax cuts create jobs. It would seem as though those tax cuts have priorities and come somewhere down the life from re-election.
