Stage Set for Heavier Taxes on Michigan Farmers
Michigan Farm Bureau Legislative Counsel Stanley M. Powell warns that favorable tax conditions for farmers may end. He recalls the 1930s shift to sales tax funding and warns of possible return to heavy property taxes as highway, school, and state costs rise. He notes the 15 mill limit erosion and the sales tax diversion increasing local burdens. He argues farmers cannot easily pass on higher taxes and urges vigilance and organization.
