Podcast appearances and mentions of lou glazer

Originally Uploaded April 15, Re-edited July 5th. Chris Holman welcomes Lou Glazer, President of Michigan Future, Inc. , Ann Arbor, MI. There were several things Chris wanted to find out from Lou in this interview: Lou, remind the Michigan business community about Michigan Future, Inc.? You recently had Impact Research do polling of likely 2024 voters in Michigan what was your focus? Why do you believe there is broad bipartisan support for a $1 billion tax cut for Michigan parents? What are the implications of such a tax cut? Do you see any impact to the business community, like increased labor participation if the cuts happen? $1 billion tax cut for Michigan parents has broad bipartisan support At a time of stark partisan divide an overwhelming majority of Michiganders unite in support of a significant tax cut for Michigan's working parents. LANSING, Mich. – Recent polling of likely 2024 voters in Michigan, conducted by Impact Research for Michigan Future, Inc., finds strong support for a $1 billion Working Parents Tax Cut (WPTC) to help parents raising young children afford household necessities including child care. When given details of the proposal, 76 percent of Michiganders support enactment of a one-billion-dollar tax cut for working parents to pay for necessities like groceries, housing, and child care – while planning for the future. The poll, conducted in March, found that Michiganders – across party lines; across media markets; across those who are raising children and those who are not; and across those who meet income eligibility requirements and those who don't – overwhelmingly believe that putting more money in the pockets of working parents would do more to help them keep up with the cost of living than increased funding for state programs like child care and housing. “A working parents tax cut unites Michiganders," said Lou Glazer, president of Michigan Future, Inc. “They agree that there is no program that the state can administer that has the scale or impact that the Working Parents Tax Cut has. Michiganders agree that families know best how to spend their money and by providing them with this tax cut, we would empower parents to make the best decisions they can for themselves and their children.” The proposal is a fully refundable tax credit of $5,000 for children under age three, and $2,500 for children from age three up to six years old. To qualify, a household needs earnings of at least $10,000 per year from work and must meet Earned Income Tax Credit income thresholds, roughly up to $64,000 per year depending on family size. There is a limit of three children per family for the tax cut. More than 250,000 Michigan children under the age of six live in WPTC eligible households. “The Working Parents Tax Cut is an A+ policy proposal when it comes to voter support,” said Kevin Akins, a partner at Impact Research. “A large majority of Michigan voters from both sides of the aisle are united around this tax cut proposal, voicing levels of bipartisan support that are rarely found in the current political environment.” The poll of 500 likely Michigan general election voters was conducted from March 5-10, 2024 on an online and text-to-web survey. The margin of error for the full sample is +/- 4.4% at the 95% level of confidence and higher for subgroups.

It's episode 79 of Michigan's premier progressive podcast with the award-winning Pat Johnston! Pat's guest this week is Lou Glazer from Michigan Future, Inc., which is a nonprofit, and nonpartisan organization that focuses on helping Michigan succeed in a knowledge-based economy. And as Lou says, Michigan Future is also trying to make Michigan a more prosperous state. Michigan currently ranks 39th in per capita income. Lou says transformational changes are needed to make the state a more prosperous state, and a more attractive state, for younger people and younger families. Those changes include more investments in education, our cities and towns, and transit.  Pat opens the show talking about the cynical game the right-wing continues to play when it comes to dividing this country through race. He talks about how many on the right, including members of the Michigan Republican Party, continue to stoke fears over immigration. It's an issue that could've been tackled this year, but Congressional Republicans trashed their own bill because Donald Trump needed the issue for this year's presidential campaign. Oh, yes, Pat attacks Michigan GOP Chair Pete Hoekstra, who's part of this game of division and fear, while offering no solutions! The "Last Call" deals with a new study showing how the gap between the U.S. corporate profits and corporate taxes as a share of GDP has DOUBLED in the last 40+ years!  Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can! leftoflansing@gmail.com leftoflansing.com

This week in politics starts, of course, with Michigan's Presidential Primary. The primary has Biden and Trump winning by a bunch — but both campaigns see warning signs for November. Also this week: Sneaker salesman Trump graciously accepts victory by calling Gretchen Whitmer “a terrible governor who sold you out”, and UAW president Shawn Fein “atrocious" A state court has, for now, put Kristina Karamo out to political pasture, but the fight for control of what's left of the Michigan Republican Party goes on Michigan born-and-bred Ronna Romney McDaniel admits the obvious: she's officially another victim of Trump's one-way loyalty Former Michigan Congressman Mike Rogers is trying to rewrite his legislative history sponsoring legislative mirroring last week's Alabama ruling that embryos are people Joining the podcast is Lou Glazer, head of the economic think tank Michigan Future, a non-partisan, non-profit organization. Michigan Future's mission is to be a source of new ideas on how Michigan can succeed as a world class community in a knowledge-driven economy. Its work is funded by Michigan foundations. Glazer currently is heading efforts to implement a new agenda designed to raise household income for all. Prior to joining MFI, he served as Deputy Director of the Michigan Department of Commerce during the Blanchard Administration.

Robert Morris Owens – an unofficial advisor to Kristina Karamo and her faction of the divided state GOP – doesn't imagine either the courts, the Republican National Committee or past President Donald Trump himself having much authority in resolving the current chair conflict.  State Representative Alabas Farhat, a Dearborn Democrat, describes what it was like to read an opinion piece referring to his home city as "America's Jihad Capitol," and to witness the security concerns it triggered in the country's highest Muslim population per capita community.  Additionally, President Lou Glazer of Michigan Future Inc. highlights a report finding that Michigan lagged behind national personal income per capita growth by more than $8,200 from 1999 to 2022.

Jan. 31, 2024 ~ Michigan now ranks 39th in the nation in personal income per capita, according to a report "A New Path to Prosperity?" Guy, Lloyd, and Jamie talk with Michigan Future, Inc. President Lou Glazer about how the state can improve, and some of the warning signs of Michigan's decline.

Oct. 2, 2023 ~ Michigan Futures, Inc. President Loui Glazer talks to Guy Gordon, Lloyd Jackson, and Jamie Edmonds about Michigan Future's upcoming virtual policy roundtable on Working Parents Tax Credit that could help working families make ends meet.

The polling shows Michigan voters unhappy with the economy, yet the numbers tell a different story. Unemployment rate dropped to 3.8% in April, tying the pre-pandemic February 2020 rate.  Since the mid-1970s, Michigan's unemployment rate only fell below 4.0% during three periods: periodically from 1998-2000, from November 2019 to March 2020, and now.  In April, Michigan had a total labor force of 4,869,000. This was an increase of 18,000 over the month and 26,000 over the year.  The state recorded 4,420,000 payroll jobs in April, an increase of 5,000 jobs over March and an increase of 61,000 jobs over the year.  Michigan's labor force participation rate climbed to 60.2 percent this month, the highest rate since September 2020.  One huge threat to that strong economy: Congress. Congressional leaders say the nation won't default on the national debt, but we're really at the mercy of the GOP Cuckoo Squad … and George Santos. Also in the political spotlight: Republicans are continuing to do everything they can to enact laws and nominate candidates that are only popular with their base, moves that could well lead to a GOP election bloodbath in 2024. Florida, under Ron DeSantis, is leading the way - even investigating an elementary school teacher for showing a Disney film in her classroom. Michigan is becoming the un-Florida, enacting laws that enjoy wide voter support and using those laws as a lure for new talent. Joining our conversation is the head of the progressive think tank Michigan Future, Lou Glazer, about Michigan's new marketing campaigns focused on promoting progressive social policies.

By most metrics, Michigan and Metro Detroit are stagnant as far as population. Economically, we are slipping behind. Young talent continues to leave. Instead of wallowing in it, how to fix it? It's going to take some change. A change in priorities of what we fund and support on the state level. A change in how we build and think about communities. And a realization that what got us here won't get us there. Lou Glazer from Michigan Future joins me for a conversation that, agree or disagree, I think will make you think.  More: https://michiganfuture.org/  We do this show each and every weekday covering what to know and where to go in Metro Detroit on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and wherever you listen to shows.

This episode features Lou Glazer, President of Michigan Future Inc.., an Ann Arbor-based Think Tank. Lou defines reality about a self-sufficient wage in his most recent op-ed in Crain's Detroit Business - https://bit.ly/37sKLaA. Today, there are more Michigan households that are unable to pay for basic necessities than there were in 2010 when MI was just starting to recover from the recession. WHY? Because wages and benefits are rising slower than the cost of necessities (food, housing, childcare, and transportation). The Food Bank Council of Michigan published the Self-Sufficiency Standard to establish how much is enough for who and where in Michigan. The Self-Sufficiency Standard for Michigan (https://www.fbcmich.org/selfsufficiencystandard) is far more accurate than the outdated federal poverty measure used to determine eligibility for work supports. The right way to think about the economy is if the people can pay their bills and raise a family, not by the stock market. When there are HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of CHILDREN in our state that are HUNGRY, the economy is NOT good enough!
