Brian Calley, and Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville, R-Monroe, during a news conference in Lansing, Mich. While talks continue and no deal is imminent, the top tax writer in the GOP-led Senate said he soon will propose cutting the personal income tax rate from 4.25 percent to 3.9 percent over four years, which would return the levy to where it was in 2007. Republicans who control the House also hope to pass an income tax reduction. (AP Photo/Al Goldis)
