LANSING, Mich. — Sen. Michele Hoitenga, R-Manton, issued the following statement regarding her legislation to eliminate state income tax on overtime earnings, which would bring much-needed tax relief to hardworking families across Michigan:
“It is time for a new direction in Michigan — one that prioritizes economic relief for the forgotten middle-class families of Michigan. This legislation will bring much-needed relief to the hardworking Michiganders and their families.
“This is not simply a Republican or Democrat issue — this is the right thing to do.
“I look forward to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to put the hardworking families of our state first by passing meaningful, long-lasting tax relief.”
