Dear Editor,
| would like to thank Rep. Goeff Hansen for taking the initiative and introducing legislativn tu encourage
job creation. Rep. Hansen’s legislation exempts new businesses employing 100 workers or fewer from
real property taxes, personal property taxes and the Michigan Business Tax that are registered with the
state on or after July 1, 2009.
Since 2001, Michigan has lost over 300,000 jobs, and we've been hit especially hard in our arca, with
some communities having unemployment rates in excess of 20%,
Goeff Hansen knows that three out of every four jobs are created by small businesses and his legislation
will make it easier for local entrepreneurs to create jobs, which will, in turn help our local families.
Thank you, Rep. Hansen, and keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
