HELP FOH SPING INTO THE CAMPAIGN SEASON

Help FOH Swing into the Campaign Season

What a year 2011 was! Friends of Housing has had great success, including the election of a dozen members of the Michigan Association of Home Builders into office. Those voices have helped rebuild a Michigan that will lay a foundation for growth. We have seen the elimination of the Michigan Business Tax (MBT) and the creation of a fairer tax – the Corporate Income Tax. This action alone eliminated the double taxation of roughly 85,000 small businesses. This week the phase-out of the Personal Property Tax was introduced and heard in the Senate Finance Committee. If this plan is signed into law, it would immediately eliminate the Personal Property Tax for roughly 75% of those businesses who pay the PPT and would phase it out for others until it is no longer in existence. We continue to work with Representative Margaret O’Brien and the Snyder Administration to move legislation that would reduce the tax builders pay on inventory homes they build in the future. House Bill 4134 was passed out of the House with 77 bipartisan yes votes. Good things are happening to turn Michigan around. If we want to continue to see good things happen we need to support those legislators who support us (including our 12 members and all those that have supported our industry). You can do that by joining us on June 18th for a round of golf on one of Michigan’s finest courses. Take a day to support Friends of Housing and spend a Pure Michigan day on the links.
