2007 House Bill 5105 (Repeal Detroit income tax reduction law ) (House Roll Call 448)
Passed in the House (73 to 35) on October 3, 2007, to repeal a law that requires Detroit to gradually reduce its city income tax to 2.0 percent for residents and 1.0 percent for non-residents who work in the city. The law lets Detroit postpone annual one-tenth of a percent reductions if certain conditions apply, which has been the case since 2004, but will not apply this year. Under the bill Detroit may levy an income tax allowed of 3 percent rax on residents, and 1.5 percent on nonresidents who work there. [History, Amendments & Comments]

Just because I get a job in your city limits doesn't mean you should have any right to any money I make. You're just going to throw it away on the endless roadwork that makes the roads unusable.

is this CONSTITUTIONAL?
is this LEGAL?
why don't ALL michigan cities impose an income tax? probably because detroit got a VARIANCE FROM THE LAW THAT PREVENTS OTHER CITIES FROM IMPOSING AN ILLEGAL INCOME TAX.
