Are county government employees in Michigan exempt from paying tax on their Social Security income?

My wife has been receiving Social Security Disability since 2010, when she worked for the Macomb county government in Michigan.  Is that income tax exempt on the Michigan tax return?

Michigan does not tax Social Security.

Some additional information:  There are 13 states that tax Social Security—Colorado, Connecticut, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, and West Virginia.  These states offer varying degrees of income exemptions, but four mirror the federal tax schedule: MN, ND,VT, and WV
