Winter may never leave us in Michigan, but one thing is for sure, the old tax system is gone.

April 17 was the last day Michigan residents had to file their taxes under an old, outdated complicated tax code that had not been updated in more than 30 years.

In fact, some benefits of tax reform are already being seen in Michigan.

"Barbara Bush was an amazing woman. She was fiercely loyal, funny, witty, and plain-spoken. She was married to the love of her life for 73 years, and together they served our country with grace and class as President and First Lady. She raised an incredible family, including another president, and lived her life with humor, generosity and compassion for all she met each day. Amy and I join our nation in praying for President Bush and the entire Bush family as they mourn the loss of a wonderful woman."

"Right now, 49 states, including Michigan, have balanced budget laws. Michigan families also work hard to pay their bills and balance their own budgets. The federal government should do the same.

"Speaker Ryan has been an outstanding leader for our country in Congress. In 2015, he answered the call of service to take on the incredibly difficult job of Speaker. Since then, he has increased funding for our veterans and our military, and led the fight for historic tax reform with lower rates and a $2,000 child tax credit that helps hardworking Michigan families. I wish Speaker Ryan and his family all the best."
