Lansing, MI – State Representative Dale Zorn of Onsted gave this statement regarding Governor Whitmer’s State of the State this week:
“The governor’s plan to ‘eliminate the retirement tax’ is half-hearted. It creates a system of winners and losers, where people with public pensions get a large tax break, those with other retirement income benefit less, and working seniors get nothing. Seniors with all types of income should be included.”
Additionally Zorn said one of his top priorities for 2023 is expanding access to career and technical education opportunities… “As the state continues to focus on attracting new job providers and growing existing ones, it’s absolutely critical for career and technical education to go hand-in-hand. We must make sure young people have opportunities to learn the skills they need to land well-paying, in-demand careers. A skilled workforce will also make our community more attractive to companies that are looking to grow and invest in Michigan.”
