John James proposes eliminating Michigan income tax
Michigan gubernatorial candidate John James is campaigning to eliminate the state income tax. Fiscal experts warn the plan would require drastic spending cuts to public services and disproportionately benefit high-income earners.
United States congressional representative and gubernatorial candidate John James has proposed eliminating Michigan's income tax, threatening a major overhaul of public funding. The plan relies on disputed budget numbers and mirrors tax cuts that previously roiled other states. Critics argue the move would deliver the largest financial windfalls to high-income earners while slashing billions from K-12 education and public services.
