A bill to cut taxes failed in Lansing early Thursday.
In a session that began Wednesday afternoon, House legislators stayed up all night debating the state income tax bill, taking a final vote after midnight.
The bill failed by three votes. It was aimed to lower Michigan's income tax rate gradually from 4.25 percent to 3.9 percent over the next four years.
The tax cut was lead by Republicans, but failed in the Republican held House with 12 Republicans voting against it.
Governor Rick Snyder was not on board with the break citing serious concerns about the budget implications.
Conservatives who were pushing the tax cut say it should return to 3.9 percent where it was back in 2007.
New house Republican leaders say they are making tax cuts a priority.
This was the first major vote on this bill and it's not necessarily dead, but would have to be drastically changed in order for it to approved by the governor.
