Van Wagoner's early plan for Michigan government
Governor-elect Murray Van Wagoner aims for a businesslike administration with gradual reduction of the state deficit, centralized tax collection, and dedicated revenue reserves. He would face a Republican legislature and an independent board, while sales tax growth is projected to reach about 70 million dollars, and exemptions in Wayne County sparked controversy last spring.
