I believe the Michigan tax structure should not be changed at this time to increase revenue.

I am open to considering a graduated income tax, in which taxpayers with higher incomes are taxed at higher rates than those with lower incomes.

I am open to considering an increase in the sales tax.

I would consider a lower and broad-based tax (2 percent) on all transactions, such as services and consumer goods (cars and home appliances).
