Whether it\u2019s her plan to repeal the retirement tax, triple the Earned Income Tax Credit, or lower the cost of insulin, the governor\u2019s proposals put hundreds of millions of dollars back in the hands of Michigan families to spend on the things they need. At a time when Michigan is seeing a historic boost in revenue while continuing to fight the pandemic, there\u2019s never been a better opportunity to invest in families in our communities. I look forward to working with Governor Whitmer and my colleagues in the legislature on both sides of the aisle to find common ground and advance these solutions.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe governor and I have made good on our shared commitment to ending the discriminatory \u2018Tampon Tax,\u2019 making childcare more affordable, investing in our students and their education, and building state-of-the-art homes for veterans in Grand Rapids and throughout the state. I am proud of the work that has been done thus far during the 101<sup>st<\/sup> Legislative Session, and I look forward to continuing to build a more prosperous state for our constituents in the months to come.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">###&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.
