Raising the Excise Tax on Beer is Good Public Policy
Michigan currently imposes a tax of $6.30 per 31 gallon barrel. This equates to about 1.9 cents per 12-ounce can or 20 cents per gallon. By raising the tax 5 cents per 12 ounce serving, an additional 100 million dollars would be raised for Michigan. This could provide support for critical services like substance abuse prevention, treatment, and recovery as well as law enforcement and education.
