We need your help to save Michigan's small businesses!

Bars, restaurants, bowling alleys and many other small businesses in Michigan have been shut down by the State for most of 2020. The shutdowns started as days, that turned into weeks, that turned into months.

Yet these same businesses have still had to pay their full property taxes, and their annual fees to the State to renew their liquor license, with no allowances or reductions for the time they were shut down by the government. 

They paid all this in 2020, while they were closed. This petition asks the House and Senate of the State of Michigan to help small businesses survive by immediately passing legislation to (1) give them credit against their future property taxes for those property taxes paid in 2020 for any days that they were shut down by the State, and (2) waive the 2021 liquor license renewal fees for on-premise liquor licensees whose business was closed by governmental order during 2020.

Please help save our small businesses by adding your name here. Doing so can help out a lot, and our small businesses need and deserve this break!
