Lawmaker Says Special Tax Favors Are 'Cronyism' [Mackinac Center]

Lawmaker Says Special Tax Favors Are 'Cronyism' [Mackinac Center]: "If a business is in need of a tax break, the quickest route may be the local politician.
State Rep. Justin Amash, R-Kentwood, recently called out his colleagues for submitting bills that created tax advantages for single businesses.
Amash called attention to Senate Bill 500, sponsored by State Sen. Tony Stamas, R-Midland. That bill was tailored to create a tax break for an electronics building in Gaylord. An expanded version was passed by the House and Senate"
