In February of this year, members responded to our survey on Healthcare Insurance. Below is an executive summary with comparisons to previous years’ surveys on this subject:

Governor Rick Snyder's massive and controversial changes to the state's tax code cleared a major hurdle Thursday as the Republican-led House passed legislation that replaces the Michigan Business Tax, eliminates virtually all tax credits for individuals and businesses and would tax pension income in a meaningful way for the first time.

The most wide-ranging overhaul of state taxes in years passed the House today as the Republican majority signed off on a new business tax, scrapping most tax credits for the income and businesses taxes and taxing pensions in a significant way for the first time

In a revenue deal announced today by the state's three top Republican leaders, the "pension tax" would be modified to exclude those 67 and over, thus bringing in $600 million less for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 budget.

All the information you need to know and then some on tentative tax and revenue agreement reached by the Governor, SML and Speaker.

The Senate vote to repeal the 1099 provision in the healthcare law received wide coverage in print and online.
