| New reporting highlights how Bill Huizenga voted to cut taxes for himself and his business, paid for by gutting health care for Michiganders.
Huizenga’s Big Ugly Bill “earned him $50,000 in tax breaks this year,” while Huizenga Gravel Company Inc. is also “receiving some of the largest corporate tax reductions in the bill.” And this comes as reporting has already found that Huizenga “tripled his total assets and increased his net worth five times over” during the years he’s been in Congress.
REMINDER: Huizenga’s windfall is paid for by Michigan families. He gutted health care funding for Michiganders, voted to end critical health care tax credits, and slashed food assistance that has already ripped food away from children.
DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith:
“Bill Huizenga cut taxes for himself and his family business while sticking Michigan families with the bill – Huizenga works for himself, not for Southwest Michigan.”
The Gander: Huizenga-supported Big Beautiful Bill helps him, harms Michiganders
- …Huizenga’s support for the OBBBA has had one notable local beneficiary: himself. Since it passed into law, Huizenga’s worth has soared even as he continues to request zero dollars in earmarked funding for improvement projects in his community—a reflection of his last 15 years in office.
- He has different opinions about helping himself. The tax law in the OBBBA that Huizenga voted for earned him $50,000 in tax breaks this year. Additionally, in February, The Michigan Independent reported that Huizenga has tripled his total assets and increased his net worth five times over compared to when he took office in 2011.
- Huizenga also co-owns and operates Huizenga Gravel Company, Inc., which is set to receive financial incentives due to the OBBBA. C-Corporations in manufacturing and mining, like Huizenga Gravel Company, are receiving some of the largest corporate tax reductions in the bill. The bill also allows immediate, 100% tax write-offs for business expenses like heavy machinery and vehicles. Previously, write-offs would be available incrementally over several years.
- A year after the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Huizenga seems to be the only one receiving a big, beautiful payday.
