Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel’s office has formally requested that Gotion Inc. repay $23.7 million in taxpayer funds. This action follows a letter sent by the state on September 17, which declared Gotion in default of a $175 million incentive agreement.
The demand comes more than four months after the initial default notice, highlighting ongoing concerns regarding the company’s compliance with the terms of the state-funded agreement.
**Why this matters**
The repayment request underscores the state’s efforts to hold companies accountable for public investments. Ensuring that taxpayer money is used appropriately is critical for maintaining public trust and supporting economic development initiatives.
