Legislative public hearing on business tax here Friday

State Reps. Lorence Wenke of Kalamazoo, and Mike Nofs of Battle Creek; and Sen. Mark Schauer will hold a legislative public hearing Friday, May 23, starting at 3 p.m. at Franke Center for the Arts, Downstage Community Room, 214 E. Mansion Street, Marshall.
Many businesses in Michigan are now paying up to 10 times more in state taxes due to the new state business tax.

Local business owners will testify in Marshall before a panel of three area state lawmakers about how they have been negatively impacted by the tax, and offer potential solutions.

The lawmakers will use the testimony as a way to strengthen their position in their attempt to change Michigan’s business tax structure.
