Refund budget surplus to taxpayers, Republicans say
January 10, 2008
BY CHRIS CHRISTOFF
LANSING House Republicans are calling on the state to refund to taxpayers a $353-million budget surplus from the 2006-07 fiscal year.House Minority Leader Craig DeRoche, R-Novi, said using the money to shore up the current year budget would only perpetuate a state deficit and said the budget should be cut instead. DeRoche accused Gov. Jennifer Granholms administration of hiding or miscalculating state spending in order to make the case for a tax increase last fall. Granholm and the Legislature raised the income tax from 3.9% to 4.35%, and enacted a new sales tax on services that was quickly repealed and replaced with a larger business tax |

Well seeing that the population of the US (kids included) just broke the 300 million mark, I'll be looking forward to my $1.16. If I scrape up another $2, i can buy a gallon of gas.
*sigh* |

That's a Michigan surplus. You should be getting closer to $30. |
