Steele hosts coffee hour on Friday to hear residents’ input
State Rep. Donnie Steele (R-Orion Twp.) will have a coffee hour from 1:30-2:30 p.m. Friday in Bloomfield Hills for local district residents to share their comments, concerns and ask questions. No appointment is necessary to attend.
Steele represents Michigan District 54 which includes Orion Township and portions of Auburn Hills, Bloomfield Hills and Oakland Township.
The March coffee hour is at MI Corporate Cafes, 39533 Woodward Ave., Unit 110 in Bloomfield Hills.
Anyone unable to attend who would like to share thoughts or concerns with Steele may contact her office directly at 517-373-1771 or email DonniSteele@house.mi.gov.
On Thursday, Steele voted in favor of a package of tax cuts that aim to deliver relief to small businesses from “unnecessary burdensome government regulations as well increase oversight on the governor’s corporate giveaways,” Steele’s office said in a news statement.
“Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and they should be allowed to operate without unnecessary government restrictions,” said Steele. “These restrictions make it more expensive for them and as result more expensive for all of us. Small businesses have struggled in the last two years and this is the type of relief they should be seeing out of Lansing. I’m proud to have helped deliver immediate and lasting relief.”
House Bills 4039, 4137, and 4253 will clarify Michigan law and exempt delivery and installation services from sales and use taxes if the charges are listed separately from the product on an invoice. House Bills 4054 and 4055 will clarify that sales and use taxes do not apply to industrial processing equipment used on aggregate materials, such as sand, gravel, crushed stone, and recycled asphalt.
“On Sunshine Week, the House of Representatives also voted to increase oversight and accountability when it comes to the governor’s corporate handouts” added Rep. Steele. “This is something both parties clearly favor and that’s why the bill received overwhelming bipartisan support.”
The measures passed the House of Representatives with overwhelming bipartisan support, and now head to the Senate for further consideration. – J.N.
