A website which concentrates on economic issues called WalletHub released its latest report of the U.S. tax landscape.  It is an in-depth look at the states with 2015’s Best & Worst Taxpayer Return on Investment.

WalletHub used 22 metrics to measure the quality and efficiency of state government services across six distinct categories:

• Infrastructure
• Education
• Health
• Safety
• Economy
• Pollution

When Wallethub took these 6 categories into account how did our state of Michigan do?
