My facebook page has been compromised. I did not tag anyone advising anyone to vote on Proposal 1 and 2 because first, there is no Proposal 2. Please be clear, there are 3 Proposals (1 state proposal and 2 city proposals) that Detroiters will have an opportunity to vote on: STATE PROPOSALS PROPOSAL 14-1 APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL OF AMENDATORY ACT TO REDUCE STATE USE TAX AND REPLACE WITH A LOCAL COMMUNITY STABILIZATION SHARE TO MODERNIZE THE TAX SYSTEM TO HELP SMALL BUSINESSES GROW AND CREATE JOBS The amendatory act adopted by the Legislature would: 1. Reduce the state use tax and replace with a local community stabilization share of the tax for the purpose of modernizing the tax system to help small businesses grow and create jobs in Michigan. 2. Require Local Community Stabilization Authority to provide revenue to local governments dedicated for local purposes, including police safety, fire protection, and ambulance emergency services. 3. Increase portion of state use tax dedicated for aid to local school districts. 4. Prohibit Authority from increasing taxes. 5. Prohibit total use tax rate from exceeding existing constitutional 6% limitation. Should this law be approved? CITY PROPOSALS DETROIT PUBLIC LIBRARY OPERATING MILLAGE RENEWAL PROPOSAL L: LIBRARY OPERATING MILLAGE RENEWAL Shall the tax limitation on taxable property for operating and maintaining the Detroit Public Libraries, be renewed for up to 3.9943 mills ($3.9943 on each $1000.00 of taxable value) for 10 years (July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2025)? This renewal combines two millages that voters approved on November 2, 2004, which expire June 30, 2015. 3.9943 mills will raise estimated revenue of $37,700,000.00 the first year, if approved, levied, and 100% collected. Of this, 5% may be captured by the tax increment authorities under the Detroit Economic Growth Corporation, as required by state law. INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL DISTRICT PROPOSALS ENHANCEMENT MILLAGE PROPOSAL REGIONAL ENHANCEMENT MILLAGE PROPOSAL Pursuant to state law, the revenue raised by the proposed enhancement millage will be collected by the Wayne County Regional Educational Service Agency and distributed to local public school districts within the boundaries of the Wayne County Regional Educational Service Agency based on pupil membership count. Shall the limitation on the amount of ad valorem taxes which may be imposed on taxable property in the Wayne County Regional Educational Service Agency, Michigan, be increased by 2.00 mills ($2 per thousand dollars of taxable value) for a period of six (6) years, 2014 to 2019, inclusive, as new additional millage to provide operating funds to enhance other state and local funding for local school district operating purposes? It is estimated that 2 mills would raise approximately $80,000,000 when first levied in 2014. The revenue from this millage will be disbursed to the following school districts: Allen Park Public Schools; Crestwood School District; Dearborn City School District; Dearborn Heights School District #7; School District of the City of Detroit; Ecorse Public School District; Flat Rock Community Schools; School District of the City of Garden City; Gibraltar School District; Grosse Ile Township Schools; The Grosse Pointe Public School System; Hamtramck Public Schools; City of Harper Woods Schools; School District of the City of Highland Park; Huron School District; School District of the City of Lincoln Park; Livonia Public Schools; Melvindale - Northern Allen Park Schools; Northville Public Schools; Plymouth-Canton Community Schools; Redford Union School District; River Rouge School District; Riverview Community School District; Romulus Community Schools; Southgate Community School District; South Redford School District; Taylor School District; Trenton Public Schools; Van Buren Public Schools; Wayne-Westland Community School District; Westwood Community Schools; Woodhaven-Brownstown School District; Wyandotte City School District
