We're loving the #TaxValentines from ITEP! This one definitely touched our hearts. More on tax policy needs in #Michigan here from Fiscal Policy & Govt Relations Director Rachel Richards: bit.ly/3OALLAW

The proposed 2025 budget is values-based and people centered. There is lots of work ahead to get the budget over the finish line but this is an excellent start.

Almost 18% of Michigan’s children live in poverty. Poverty is a policy choice and we need to make different choices.
