Huron County is located in the “thumb” area of Michigan. It is surrounded on three sides by water – Saginaw Bay and Lake Huron. The county has a land area of 824 square miles which is 139 square miles greater than the average for the other 82 counties in the state. Of the 28 townships in the county, only 15 are approximately 36 square miles. The irregular shore, 93 miles long, makes the other thirteen townships irregular in size, ranging from one square mile (Pointe Aux Barques Township) to 58 square miles (Sherman Township). The population of the county showed a continuous increase from the first census period until 1920 when it reached 34, 758 people. In common with the majority of counties of the state, the population declined from 1910 to 1930. Since then, there has been a gradual increase in population to 36, 459 people in 1980; however, in 1990 a gradual decrease. Bad Axe, the county seat and the largest city has a population of just over 3,400 people. Harbor Beach is the other city in the county. The villages are Caseville, Elkton, Kinde, Owendale, Pigeon, Port Austin, Port Hope, Sebewaing, and Ubly. Huron County ranks as one of the top agricultural counties in Michigan based on agricultural farm income. Major crops grown in the county are corn, navy beans, sugar beets, wheat, alfalfa, oats and barley. Major enterprises include dairy, livestock, and poultry production. Because of the natural beauty and ideal topography and sandy beaches, Huron County has an ideal setting for the tourism industry. The shoreline developed for tourism offers numerous opportunities for vacationers. There are currently two state parks – Sleeper State Park and Port Crescent State Park. Two roadside parks – Jenks Park and Brown Park. Also, Huron County maintains nine county parks along the shoreline, which are Caseville Park, Lighthouse Park, Stafford Park, McGraw Park, Philp Park, Port Austin Bird Creek Park, Wagener Park, Oak Beach Park and Sebewaing Park. Although small industry and tourism has developed in the county, agriculture remains the chief source of income for most residents.
The Multistate Tax Commission is an intergovernmental state tax agency working on behalf of states and taxpayers to facilitate the equitable and efficient administration of state tax laws that apply to multistate and multinational enterprises. Created by the Multistate Tax Compact, the Commission is charged by this law with: • Facilitating the proper determination of State and local tax liability of multistate taxpayers, including the equitable apportionment of tax bases and settlement of apportionment disputes; • Promoting uniformity or compatibility in significant components of tax systems; • Facilitating taxpayer convenience and compliance in the filing of tax returns and in other phases of tax administration; • Avoiding duplicative taxation. The commission was created in 1967 as an effort by states to protect their tax authority in the face of previous proposals to transfer the writing of key features of state tax laws from the state legislature. For that reason, the Commission has been a voice for preserving the authority of states to determine their own tax policy within the limits of the U.S. Constitution.
