Michigan Reps. Collene Lamonte, Brandon Dillon pitch House Democrats' Middle Class Plan

Michigan Reps. Collene Lamonte, Brandon Dillon pitch House Democrats' Middle Class Plan | MLive.com:
"At a press conference April 2, state Reps. Collene Lamonte, D-Montague, and Brandon Dillon, D-Grand Rapids, promoted the plan, which includes repealing a tax on seniors’ retirement income, and an increase of $320 per student in the state’s dollars-per-student funding.
“We heard these deep concerns over and over again at all of our stops,” Lamonte said.
Lamonte and Dillon declined to talk about how the changes would be paid for, saying that the information would be made public when House Democrats release their budget priorities next week.
But Dillion said the reforms could be accomplished “without raising taxes one penny.”
