The 2nd Annual Gander Awards

Last year we unveiled the Michigan Taxes Too Much’s Annual “Gander Awards.”  The awards are randomly attributed to our wonderful policy makers and those who hold a substantial influence on government policy in the state of [chaos] Michigan.  The year has more possibilities than I could fit here, and we will begin accepting nominations for next year’s awards in the next 12 months.  Without further ado,
