Michigan Nears Government Shutdown
The sales tax hike voted on by the House yesterday, was unsuccessful. We are now 18 days away from the deadline to resolve Michigan’s budget crisis ($1.8 billion deficit). If it is not resolved before then, the likely result will be a government shutdown.
I like the sound of that. I only worry about the trouble bureaucrats might get into with all that spare time. It’s difficult to plunder without the guise of the state, but I’m sure it’s a hard habit to break.
