Introduced in the Senate on September 24, 2008, to require an annual report that the Michigan Economic Growth Authority (MEGA) is required to submit to the legislature to include “the amount of capital investment and the number of jobs required to be created or retained” during the year by each business that enters into a tax break agreement with the Authority. Currently the report must include aggregate figures on the total amount of capital investment and new jobs supposedly attracted by firms that are picked by state economic development officials to receive these selective tax breaks
