Democratic rep Elissa Slotkin takes Michigan’s farm tax credit but has no farm licenses, records show
Story by James Dickson • 11h


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.”

But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

'has no farming licenses' a license is required to farm?  Is a degree in agriculture needed also?
