State Rep. Rachelle Smit (R-Martin) issued the following statement in response to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s 2024 State of the State Address on Wednesday:

“The governor is pulling the wool over the eyes of Michiganders everywhere – but the reality of the state of our state is bleaker than she wants us to believe.

“In the past year, the governor and her Democrat colleagues have implemented anti-business regulations on job providers, taken actions that will increase household costs for families in coming years, and reversed a permanent tax cut that every Michigan taxpayer was entitled to under our state law.

“The truth is, she’s far more concerned about her political aspirations and fulfilling promises she made to her campaign financers than she is about the prosperity of Michiganders, the quality of our education, the affordability of life here, or the growth of our economy.”
