Reported below: 290 Mich App ___.
Leave to Appeal Denied July 25, 2011.
I would grant leave to appeal to address whether: (a) the Due Process Clause of Const 1963, art 1, § 17 states anything different concerning the constitutionality of retroactive application of state tax laws than does Amendment V or XTV of the United States Constitution; and (b) whether it is relevant in enacting retroactive tax laws that the Legislature asserting that such laws are "curative," and intended to express the "original intent of the Legislature," is not the Legislature that enacted the laws in question, but rather a subsequent Legislature.
