Here are the opening sentences from the article:
"Would you sign a contract without knowing what it might cost you?"
"That’s exactly what Michigan legislators did this past January — every reckless Republican and Democrat in the House and Senate — when they unanimously approved a bill making it harder for the state Treasury Department to collect overdue taxes from corporate officers."

What do you think should be done now? General thoughts on the article?
As I read this article, I was like what! Why would you sign a bill that had no clear sense of what the damage might be?
ReplyDeleteI was confused by this and I do not understand it. The power of risk taking at work.
I don't understand why legislators can't reverse the law? My guess is that state lobbyists had a hand in this.
