New Michigan State Tax Commission Created By Executive Order
Governor Granholm has issued an executive order ( Executive Order 2009-51, 10/29/2009) creating a new State Tax Commission within the Department of Treasury. The Order transfers the authority, powers, duties, and functions of the old State Tax Commission and the State Assessor's Board to the new entity, and abolishes the old State Tax Commission and the State Assessor's Board.
This action is expected to lead to more effective implementation of tax policy, greater administrative efficiencies, and reductions in expenditures. The provisions of this executive order are effective December 28, 2009.
Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm expresses her feelings about the Republican Senators who opposed the Detroit bailout. Granholm explains, "They are not acting as Americans. They are acting with their parochial interests, and I think it is astonishing."
