Speaker-elect Matt Hall's recent road funding proposal would redirect $2.7 billion in existing state revenue to road repairs - the first sizable boost in permanent road funding since the 2015 road deal that raised the motor fuel tax and vehicle registration fees. But a critical yet-to-be-answered questioned is generating anxiety for many state budget stakeholders: who pays for this? The Citizens Research Council of Michigan provides some insights on the what the proposal would mean for state's General Fund budget in our latest policy blog.

This week, we were thrilled to gather some of the brightest minds (Nia Batts, Ned Staebler, Mallory McMorrow, LisaMcLoughlinPT, Lisa Katz and all the brilliant people who attended) in I&E, tech, early-stage start-ups, venture, higher ed, and research in #Detroit and #WestMichigan to grow greater momentum on expanding Michigan's innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystem. Our research points to public policy's key role in supporting this critical economy. "Economists agree that economic innovation is critical to achieving long-run economic growth and rising living standards ...public policy interventions can help foster more of it." We thank #MichiganCentral #NewLab for hosting the Detroit event and the William Davidson Foundation for funding the research. Let's keep the momentum going! #mipol, #mileg, #michiganbusiness, #michiganeconomy, #GovernorWhitmer

Yesterday, the Citizens Research Council of Michigan released an analysis of the Detroit Economic Growth Corporation's Downtown Detroit Authority (DDA) tax captures, revenue that has clearly contributed to downtown Detroit's revitalization and vibrancy. The paper, however, questions the cost that the City of Detroit and other municipalities have been forgoing, with revenue being diverted to a DDA "without end" at the expense of expanding or improving government services. "...the operations of the Detroit DDA should not be put on autopilot for the indefinite future." #Detroit #MILeg #FactsMatter https://lnkd.in/gz5ehxwj

Economic innovation is a critical factor in long-run economic growth. Citizens Research Council of Michigan today released novel research, produced with the generous support of the William Davidson Foundation, tracking the use of public policy to boost innovation and entrepreneurship (I&E). An analysis of Michigan and five neighboring state competitors shows that while Michigan is very strong in R&D and STEM education, it lags behind other states in using public policy to boost I&E funding to spark change in the economy. Policymakers have the power to change that. https://lnkd.in/eR8-PwW2 #MILeg #MiPol #FactsMatter #michiganbusiness
