DRAFTING A GENERAL REVISION OF THE STATE CONSTITUTION
Shall a convention of elected delegates be convened in 2011 to draft a
general revision of the State Constitution for presentation to the
state's voters for their approval or rejection?
A PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE STATE CONSTITUTION TO PROHIBIT CERTAIN FELONS
FROM HOLDING ELECTIVE OFFICE AND SPECIFIED TYPES OF PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT
POSITIONS
The proposed constitutional amendment would:
Make a person ineligible for election or appointment to any state or
local elective office or to hold a position in public employment in
this state that is policy-making or has discretionary authority over
public assets, if:
* within the preceding 20 years, the person was convicted of a felony
involving dishonesty, deceit, fraud, or a breach of the public trust;
and
* the conviction was related to the person's official capacity while
holding any elective office or position of employment in local, state
or federal government.
Require the State Legislature to enact laws to implement the
prohibition.
Should this proposal be adopted?
Shall the limitation on the amount of taxes imposed under Article IX, Section 6 of the Michigan Constitution be increased on all taxable real and tangible personal property in Moscow Township, Hillsdale County, Michigan, in the amount of 1 mill ($1.00 per $1,000.00 of taxable value) for the period of two (2) years, 2010 to 2011 inclusive, and shall the Township levy such millage to provide fire services and to operate , maintain and equip the Moscow Township Fire Department raising an estimated $39,135.00 the first year the millage is levied?
This proposal will allow the school district to levy the statutory rate of 18 mills on all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, required for the school district to receive its revenue per pupil foundation allowance and renews millage that will expire with the 2010 tax levy. Shall the currently authorized millage rate limitation of 18 mills ($18.00 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, in Addison Community Schools, Lenawee, Hillsdale and Jackson Counties, Michigan, be renewed for a period of 5 years, 2011 to 2015, inclusive, to provide funds for operating purposes; the estimate of the revenue the school district will collect if the millage is approved and levied in 2011 is approximately $2,965,435 (this is a renew of millage which will expire with the 2010 tax levy)?
Shall Columbia School District, Jackson, Lenawee, Washtenaw and Hillsdale Counties, Michigan, borrow the sum of not to exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and issue its general obligation unlimited tax bonds therefor, for the purpose of: remodeling, furnishing and refurnishing and equipping and re-equipping school buildings; developing and improving sidewalks, driveways, parking lots, playgrounds and athletic facilities; and developing and improving sites? The following is for informational purposes only: The estimated millage that will be levied for the proposed bonds in 2011 is 0.46 mill ($0.46 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation). The maximum number of years the bonds may be outstanding, exclusive of any refunding, will not exceed ten (10) years for any single series of bonds. The estimated simple average annual millage anticipated to be required to retire this bond debt is 1.14 mills ($1.14 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation). (Pursuant to Stata law, expenditure of bond proceeds must be audited, and the proceeds cannot be used for repair or maintenance costs, teacher, administrator or employee salaries, or other operating expenses.)
