Unjust Taxation Sparks Debate in Michigan
Benton Harbor attorney John J. Sterling told the state board of equalization that only about 45 percent of Michigan property pays taxes, while 33 percent is exempt. The state tax commission members reportedly nodded as Sterling urged correction if mistaken, calling the tax system’s reach a startling admission of weakness. The piece notes Republican openness to a state income tax if it doesn’t merely create a new revenue source. The Charlotte Republican summarized the stance as a challenge to current tax methods.
