I am not in favor of tax credits to get students to stay in Michigan.  What our legislature needs to do is get out of the way of the free enterprise system so that its easier for businesses to make a dollar.  Government rules and regulations hamper business growth.  If the businesses grow, they will hire more employees and not hold back on salaries.

In addition, I believe giving this tax break will encourage more student  loans.    The students are getting fleeced.  As loans get easier to attain, the colleges raise tuition.   Debt increases beyond what would ever have been viewed as reasonable even a few years ago. There has been no increase in outcome of higher education.  

But, the main reason I would oppose this move to give tax credits is that its just one more thing that causes taxpayer dollars to be given to others who the Gov't have decided need it or "deserve" it.   That is not government's role.
