Michigan League for Public Policy, January 2015. The Michigan EITC is one of the most effective tools for supporting working families and reducing poverty. Michigan lawmakers approved restoration of the state EITC to 20%, if voters had approved the penny sales tax increase on May 5 to pay for needed road repairs and to support schools. However, the proposal was defeated, and the state EITC is now targeted for elimination to help pay for road improvements.
