Improving Michigan’s economy is the driving force of the Michigan Legislature. As we move forward,
responsible leadership will be our foundation.
Michigan’s citizens have made it clear to Lansing: it’s time to do something different. They asked for a new direction, and Governor Snyder is leading an agenda to reinvent Michigan government.
We will focus on three main areas: Reforming spending and government; reforming taxes; and reforming regulation. As we develop and craft our plan to improve Michigan’s economy and put Michigan families back to work, bold reform will be key.
Finding the easiest, short-term solution is the way of the past. We are committed to doing the right thing and building a solid foundation in Michigan for years to come.
We are facing an enormous deficit under extreme circumstances, as Michigan families continue to suffer. Bold, significant changes will be necessary to meet our current challenges.
Our focus is on finding the best places to invest our limited resources. Our goal is to create a state government that concentrates our tax dollars on programs and services that are of greatest value to Michigan ’s citizens.
The best thing we can do to make Michigan competitive is to offer a simple, consistent and level playing field for job creators. Businesses need certainty when choosing where to open up shop and invest in our communities.
We will prioritize programs that work and stop supporting efforts that do not yield effective results. The Governor’s plan for ‘outcomes based budgeting’ will be key to assuring that dollars are allocated to effective programs that yield positive results for Michigan’s residents.
