Listen "Taxes! Taxes! Fundraising! Spending?"
Episode Synopsis
Tax cut fever is raging around the country as inflation rises and mid-term election strategies are heating up.
In the first State of the State Podcast of 2022, podcasters from Michigan State University’s Institute for Public Policy and Social Research talk taxes, the economy, the elections near term, mid-term and long-term.
What to watch for in the near term:
• Surveys showing Michigan citizens and policy insiders believe that Gov. Gretchen Whitmer should win re-election. But beware, the out of power party typically emerges as a winner in mid-term elections.
• New General Motors Corp. investments in Michigan, the choice between short-term tax cuts and investment in long-term state needs, long-term concerns about the viral pandemic COVID-19.
• Calls for greater transparency in Michigan campaign finance reporting requirements.
On the show: Host Arnold Weinfeld, associate director of Michigan State University's Institute for Public Policy and Social Research; IPPSR Director Dr. Matt Grossmann; Emeritus Economist Dr. Charles Ballard and guest Simon Schuster, executive director of the Michigan Campaign Finance Network.
