The only good thing about the latest tax package is that it brings to an end all of the UNCERTAINTY that has plagued business decision making for the past 18 months. Or, has it? While RECALL efforts persist on the SERVICE TAX portion of the package are we any more certain? While the services affected are being defined, are we any more certain? What services might be added at any time in the future? Actually, our legislators and Governor may have actually INSTITUTIONALIZED UNCERTAINTY!
The only thing CERTAIN is that the SERVICE TAX will make Michigan UNCOMPETITIVE in the fastest growing economic sector as long as it exists. IS THIS THE CERTAINTY WE WANT FOR MICHIGAN?
