Pressure grows for Michigan to fund city and business relief
In Lansing officials press lawmakers during lame duck to pass a targeted state plan of up to 100 million dollars to aid families and small businesses, while extending unemployment benefits and enforcing a mask rule. Cities with income taxes seek to preserve homeworking tax collection and property tax flexibility amid pandemic strains. The governor cites a 1 billion shortfall in 2022 and a 830 million Rainy Day Fund. Local leaders warn of service cuts without state action as federal relief stalls.
