Governor Whitmer Applauds Tax Cut: Championing Financial Relief for Working Families
According to The U.S. Sun, over 700,000 Americans in Michigan are eagerly anticipating an additional $550 in their free cash this year. This financial benefit is a result of a $1 billion tax cut applied retroactively to 2022 tax returns a measure championed by Democrats in Michigan and enacted in March 2023. Especially, this tax cut entails a significant increase in the earned income tax credit soaring from 6% to 30%. Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan lauded the initiative emphasizing its role in providing much-needed free cash to working families. She expressed that the payments would “put hundreds more dollars back in the pockets” of these households, highlighting the tangible impact on everyday Michiganders. Checks began distribution on February 13th, aiming to alleviate the financial strain faced by many across the state.
