We should’ve guessed it too! Who shivers in their boots at quality education, affordable housing and health of the job market? All of which can be improved by a healthy stream of tax revenue. The recent gains for education are important, but they don’t erase decades of disinvestment. #mileg

FACT: A small portion of the richest business owners will have to pay the surcharge on their incomes. The vast majority of small businesses will not.
So, as it turns out underneath the big “monster” facade was just Steve from spin class – who is actually a great guy once you get to know him.

FACT: This is a tax on high-income households, not businesses. The Invest in MI Kids ballot initiative proposes a tax surcharge of 5% on rich households (single filers making more than $500,000 and joint filers making more than $1 million).

MYTH: The taxman is lurking, ready to put our job creators out of business with the Invest in MI Kids ballot initiative.
SCARE TACTIC: This tax is a business tax.

2025 Kids Count in Michigan Data Book and Profiles – MLPP
Despite the budget including some things that center Michiganders’ needs, many will be harmed by the federal megabill. We know from the #KidsCountMI data that 40% of Michigan households struggle to afford the basic cost of living.

Reacting to the harmful federal megabill, the budget included the important step of updating state laws to protect Michigan’s ability to fund its share of 🏥Medicaid by keeping the state’s provider tax structure in place.

Food isn't a luxury. People need #SNAP and food banks can't make up the difference.

Michigan's budget includes forward momentum, but gaps still need to be filled • Michigan Advance
While Michigan lawmakers had been in what felt like a never-ending stalemate on their budget negotiations for a large part of this year, the recent passage of the 2026 state budget agreement demonstra...
The budget, as a whole, takes some significant positive steps toward meeting the needs of Michiganders. However, more work needs to get done. And Michiganders will still feel undue harm caused by federal cuts to essential programs like Medicaid and SNAP.

Premium Tax Credits make health care affordable for 20M+ people. If they expire, millions won’t be able to go to the doctor.
Join us in urging Congress to make health care tax credits permanent & repeal the health care cuts they passed earlier this year: commcat.io/467vrRn

Opinion | Protect Michigan families’ health care not tax breaks for the wealthy - Bridge Michigan
Small business owners, self-employed workers and middle-income families across Michigan would face impossible choices. Some would be forced to drop coverage altogether.
"Families cannot afford half measures. They cannot wait another year while their premiums double or triple. Congress must deliver a lasting solution that guarantees health care remains affordable." - @monique-stanton.bsky.social , President & CEO
