We’ll walk away with a clear, practical understanding of key proposals under consideration in Lansing, including potential changes to Michigan’s property tax structure, discussions around expanding the sales tax to services, efforts to reduce health care costs, and initiatives to modernize the state’s legal system. We’ll also set aside time for a focused discussion on Michigan’s Earned Sick Time Act and its impact on businesses.
