MEMBER TIP:
From the Lion's Den: A new president, a new tax game in 2017
by Leon LaBrecque, JD, CPA, CFP®, CFA
Managing Partner & CEO
The election of a new president always brings about change and this one is a prime example. Under the new Trump administration it is fairly likely there will be change to individual income taxes in 2017, and nearly certain that the economic game will change. President Trump is likely to adopt some or all the GOP House's tax proposals which means pretty significant change is probable. When the new tax changes happen, they could happen quickly.

M-59 RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT UPDATE FROM MDOT:
This week will be the first of our big closures/detours on the project. If you did not see our Facebook page (
www.facebook.com/MvgMacomb), the post regarding the upcoming closure at the intersection of Hayes Road and M-59 had over 1,600 shares and hundreds of comments. Some have asked what access will be maintained and we have reminded everyone that every driveway near Hayes will remain open.
On Tuesday, we closed and are detouring Northpointe Blvd. The detour is to continue on westbound M-59 to Utica Park Blvd. and then back to Northpointe. It is important that we do this closure now and complete the work prior to Memorial Day weekend. This will allow us to be able to move on to constructing Utica Park Blvd and Schoenherr later in the month of June. In addition,
the main driveway to Dick's Sporting Goods is closed and we hope to have this driveway open within about ten days.
As for the rest of the work scheduled for this week, we will be completing the work on the westbound M-59 bridge over M-53 by the end of the week. Once this work is complete, we will once again have three lanes open on both bounds during the day. We have also begun placing the aggregate base that will go below the HMA pavement on eastbound M-59.
The upcoming work on Hayes will impact a lot of people during the 10 days that it is closed. We will be working as hard as possible to make sure that we complete this work in a timely manner.
Please check our website and social media pages for updates!
