Taxes Threaten Health Insurance and Tourist Lodgings
Governor Williams outlines two tax measures under consideration. A new levy on health and related insurance would raise premiums for Blue Cross and similar plans, provoking medical opposition. The second bill taxes tourist cabins and hotels at three percent, with bonds, penalties up to one year in prison and $5,000 fines for noncompliance, affecting Michigan’s major tourism sector.
