Proudly representing MI-42 | Serving the people of Kalamazoo and Allegan | Michigan Speaker of the House

[Speaker Matt Hall @RepMattHall]

President Trump delivered historic tax relief for working families.

We amplified it right here in Michigan with no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security.

These are the real numbers:

Around 300,000 MI tipped workers will save $1,500 in overall taxes

Around 500,000 MI overtime workers will save $2,000 in overall taxes

Around 40,000 MI seniors will save $500 in state taxes

Thank you President Trump and the Republicans in Congress for leading the way!

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

President Trump's tax cuts are delivering: No tax on tips • No tax on overtime • No tax on Social Security. 💰

Making a HUGE difference for Americans across the country! 🇺🇸

Congratulations to @jaydeboyer1 on being selected by @JohnJamesMI to join the Republican ticket. I gave Jay one of the toughest assignments in the House, leading our expanded and empowered Oversight Committee, and he delivered major results.

Jay used Oversight’s new subpoena authority and new subcommittees to investigate problems all across state government. He exposed failures in the Michigan State Police, investigated child welfare, took Jocelyn Benson to court over election-training materials, rooted out waste, fraud and abuse in economic development, and investigated the DNR and Dana Nessel for wrongdoing. Oversight’s work led to the resignation of a high-ranking official, exposed hidden records, and triggered the AG’s investigation into the MEDC.

Jay has never been afraid to take on powerful people when MI taxpayers deserve answers. I’ve worked closely with Jay for a long time, and I know his character, work ethic and commitment to the people of Michigan. John James made an excellent choice.

Congratulations to @JohnJamesMI on a major victory tonight. I was pleased to join President @realDonaldTrump in support of John, and now we are focused on the big race this fall.
It is time for us all to come together and join with @JohnJamesMI to win the big fight for Michigan’s future on November 3.

I understand why the Canadians didn't invite American officials to the opening ceremony of the Gordie Howe International Bridge. The Canadians were being very unfair, but now President @realDonaldTrump has forced them to accept a much more fair deal.

Instead of keeping all of the income, Canada now has to pay America 50% of the profit - $300 million for our commerce - and give us a real say in future tolls. That's far better for American workers and Michigan families, and it is much more important than any ribbon cutting.

It was great meeting with @DrOz to discuss saving Medicaid and rural healthcare in Michigan so it's available for the people it is meant to help. We have done a lot of work to root out fraud in the Medicaid system that threatens the program here in Michigan, and there's more to come.

[Speaker Matt Hall @RepMattHall]

I negotiated a great budget deal that was signed into law yesterday. As part of that deal, we are finally defunding and draining the governor's 'SOAR' fund, which gave out hundreds of millions of dollars in corporate welfare with no accountability and was a complete failure. We're also taking money back from the COVID-19 slush fund that shouldn't exist.

We were smart and used that money to save Medicaid, hand out record school funding, and increase public safety instead of raising taxes or raiding the rainy day fund like the Democrats wanted to do. We made better use of the money state government already has so we could pass a balanced budget smaller than last year and give taxpayers better value for their dollars.

[Speaker Matt Hall @RepMattHall]

The Canadians were taking advantage of us with the old bridge agreement, and now President Trump has finally won us a very fair deal. The art of the deal means the Canadians are paying us $300m and giving us more control over future tolls. That is a big victory.

A ribbon cutting ceremony isn't nearly as important as racking up more wins for American workers, so it's fine if they want to cancel. President Trump is moving on to win the next negotiation and is already fighting hard for Michigan’s automotive industry and our farmers. And we're going to get answers from Canada on all this smoke pollution they're sending us. I can understand why the Canadians don’t want to come celebrate all of that.

[Speaker Matt Hall @RepMattHall]

Our new state budget was just signed into law today, and that means state government spending just shrunk by more than $800m, hundreds of ghost employees were eliminated, and House Republicans have won the war on the fight over new taxes and fee increases - there are none in this plan.

After the Hall Ethics Accountability and Transparency (HEAT) Plan was signed into law last year, secret pork spending is over. This year we added several new anti-fraud welfare reforms. That frees up hundreds of millions for real priorities like record road repair funding, stronger public safety to keep our neighborhoods safe, and letting families keep more of their money with no taxes on tips, overtime and social security.

All of that is in our plan. Eliminating waste, fraud and abuse is how we invested in the things Michigan families actually want and saved critical services like Medicaid for the people who need them most.

[Speaker Matt Hall @RepMattHall]

The state's new school budget was signed into law this morning, and this is a great plan to shrink class sizes, improve safety and mental health, and help kids learn to read.

We worked hard to give schools record funding to hire new teachers and expand early literacy programs so we can teach kids the basics and embrace phonics. That will give kids a much better chance to succeed in life. And from free pre-k programs, to the Hall Universal free Breakfast and lunch in Schools (HUBS), to expanded dual enrollment options, we are also helping parents save on their child's education at every step in the process.

This is the right plan for our students and Michigan families.

[Speaker Matt Hall @RepMattHall]

Thank you, @realDonaldTrump!

[Howard Lutnick @howardlutnick]

The USA struck a great deal with respect to the Gordie Howe Bridge. Before this deal we got NOTHING. Now, the U.S. gets 50% of net revenues until 2041 and a say in setting the tolls. Our share is before interest and principal.

This is the Art of the Deal in action.

[Speaker Matt Hall @RepMattHall]

This was a scary scene in Kalamazoo this morning. I'm very glad the officers were able to stop him and get him off our streets before he hurt anyone else. Hopefully we get good news on the injured deputy soon.

Let's all remember that our local law enforcement puts it all on the line every day to keep us safe, and we need to do what we can to support them in times like this.

Congress must pass the SAVE America Act now

[Speaker Matt Hall @RepMattHall]

Thank you @realdonaldtrump for your strong address to the nation tonight exposing criminal voter fraud and reopening the FBI investigation in Muskegon to restore faith in our elections.

Michigan House Republicans repeatedly called on Joe Biden's FBI to stop slow walking this investigation into Muskegon voter fraud, but it never happened. I fully support President Trump directing FBI Director Patel to reopen this investigation to find all criminal activity.

Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson should stop her obstruction and work with the Trump Administration to remove dead people and illegal aliens from Michigan's voter rolls.

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

It's time to restore real trust in our elections.

Michigan leaders are calling for action: Pass the SAVE America Act NOW to secure election integrity and ensure only American citizens vote. 🇺🇸 WATCH ⬇️

[Speaker Matt Hall @RepMattHall]

Just like I predicted, @realDonaldTrump negotiated a much better deal for America on the Gordie Howe International Bridge. This is great news.

America will now have a bigger say in the bridge tolls, and Michigan residents will benefit from the revenue just like we should. I don't know why Democrats fought against American interests on this. This is exactly what we wanted, and President Trump delivered.

I'm looking forward to the bridge opening later this month, and I'm looking forward to the people of Michigan benefiting from it from years to come.

We now have a deal! And there are still no tax hikes, no raid on the rainy day fund and a smaller budget than last year.
