Michigan tax plan party shift hints at Osborn stance
Congressmen returning from Michigan suggest Governor Chase Osborn will not press the aggressive corporation tax policy.

Michigan lawmakers favor a state uniform assessment by local officials with equal treatment for all corporations, hoping to limit Osborn’s term prospects if residency restricts him.
