WASHINGTON — The Walberg response to the State of the Union is facing scrutiny after Congressman Tim Walberg outlined economic progress he says is benefiting Michigan families.

In a statement released Tuesday night, Walberg said the country is reversing course by cutting spending, reducing regulations and increasing domestic energy production. He also pointed to higher take-home pay and historic tax relief.

Walberg’s statement did not include specific economic figures. Congress is expected to continue budget and tax debates in the coming months.
