“The lawsuit filed Tuesday rebuts that reading by putting the law in context. On behalf of Michigan taxpayers, the Mackinac Center Legal Foundation argues that lawmakers would have spelled out the frame of the cut if they meant it to be temporary.”

“Mandating one type of benefit gets in the way of the conversation between employers and employees and takes it from the realm of voluntary, mutually beneficial exchange into one where state lawmakers foist their preferences on others.”
