In case you missed it, a new report from the New York Post shows that Elissa Slotkin has been avoiding nearly $3,000 in property taxes every year by abusing a tax credit intended to support farmers.
Hardworking Michiganders are living paycheck to paycheck just to get by under Kamala Harris and Elissa Slotkin’s liberal agenda, but Tax-Cheat Slotkin thinks she’s exempt from paying for Michigan teachers, police officers, and firefighters while she lives it up in her Washington, D.C. penthouse.
Under Kamalanomics, Michigan’s housing shortage has gotten even worse. Detroit home sale prices have reached record highs, and between 2023 and 2024 rent increased by 12.4%. Across the country, American renters believe they can’t even afford to buy a house – which isn’t shocking, since the Fed has hiked interest rates 11 times since March 2022.
A record share of renters are spending more than 30% of their income on housing, and even Biden’s favorite economist said that purchasing a home or car right now is “completely unaffordable for the typical American household.”
Michiganders deserve an answer from Slotkin for why she thinks she doesn’t have to pay her fair share while we pay her salary.

DETROIT — Rep. Elissa Slotkin, the Democratic contender for an open US Senate seat in Michigan, takes a farming tax credit at her home, but the property has no farming licenses or agricultural activity, The Post can exclusively report.
The home in Holly is located in rural Oakland County and was gifted to Slotkin and her brother by their father Curtis in May 2023. It was transferred free of charge via a quitclaim deed, property records show.
The home is classified as “agricultural-improved,” a designation given to any “improvements, buildings, structures, or fixtures suitable for use in farming which are located on agricultural land.”
As a result of this designation, the home receives a 100% property tax exemption.
But there are no applicable agricultural licenses in effect on the property, according to a public-records request. Aerial shots of the property show a single family home, woods and fields — but no farming.
The arrangement saves Slotkin about $2,700 per year.
