It’s tax season again, which seems an even colder season than winter for many of us. Physicians, especially, can feel a chill in the air this time of year as they attempt in vain to get ready for April 15th. Between taking care of their patients and trying to stay compliant with so many initiatives, many doctors have little time to actually learn the basics of the tax codes that apply to them, and so they wind up getting involved in questionable investments and “tax shelters” to, in the end,…

With 2016 have being an election year, politics are everywhere. People wear shirts, have signs outside of their homes, and often times discuss or argue about these with others. Personally, as an 18 year old this was my first year voting. I was excited and overwhelmed with such a decision. However, growing up I have always been raised to have particular beliefs and I have always stood by those beliefs. My choice was very clear from the beginning of it all. I was with her. I grew up in a very…

I watched as state government officials, mainly Gov. Rick Snyder, try to toss the EPA advisors under the bus. Between the two of them, they went back and forth playing the blame game.
