MasterCard Worldwide

In an overwhelmingly successful effort to combine the legislative, appropriations, and procurement processes, Midwest Strategy Group took the lead in passing critical legislation allowing the State of Michigan to accept card payments for income tax purposes.  We secured appropriations dollars to develop the necessary infrastructure that enabled the Department of Treasury to implement an individual income tax e-payment channel for the State of Michigan.  Midwest Strategy Group also delivered MasterCard International a Secretary of State contract allowing all branch locations, as well as online, to accept MasterCard as a method of payment.

We have since continued to open the doors for electronic payments in various departments, making Michigan a more convenient and flexible place to conduct business.


Midwest Strategy Group has proven to be a trusted and valuable partner by successfully advancing our public policy objectives. The team at MWSG shares an uncommon commitment to providing the highest-quality representation with all levels of state government.
