'Hire Michigan First' plan introduced


'Hire Michigan First' plan introduced
"Democrats call their 'Hire Michigan First' plan an aggressive way to quickly create jobs and make sure that tax dollars used to attract businesses to the state benefit families here, not out-of-state workers or illegal immigrants.
The plan would reward companies with tax breaks if they accept state contracts to hire only Michigan workers. The plan would also make sure companies report on who they hire to ensure those workers are from Michigan.
Town hall meetings are set for later Thursday to address the issues and answer questions. State Rep. Robert Dean (D-Grand Rapids) will host one at 5:30 p.m. at the Teamsters Hall on Eastern. Then, at 7 p.m., State Reps. Mary Valentine (D-Norton Shores) and Doug Bennett (D-Muskegon) will host one at Muskegon Community College."
Their 'Hire Michigan First' plan is an aggressive way to quickly destroy jobs and tax dollars used to attract businesses by sending out the message to employers that politics, not productivity, is what Michigan is all about.
