Michigan

This is the summary language in the approved petition:
““Constitutional Amendment to: Prohibit real property taxes, which currently are the primary funding source for schools, community colleges, parks, and other local government units; shift 10% of state sales, income, and other tax revenue from the state to counties, cities, townships and villages, but not to schools, community colleges, parks or other local government units; eliminate property tax exemption for religious and educational organizations; require 60% of voters to approve any local taxes; require ⅔ vote of Legislature for any non-minimal tax increase; require implementing legislation.”

They aim to cripple education in Michigan and defund local government services, and erect a nearby insurmountable barrier to prevent the state from raising other revenues.


Thanks for the post, marmar.
