A PROPOSAL TO CONVENE A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION FOR THE PURPOSE OF
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 voted allocated township millage rate of 1 mill ($1.00 per $1,000 of taxable value), reduced to .7860 mill ($.7860 per $1,000 of taxable value) by the required millage rollbacks, be increased up to 1.0 mill ($1.00 per $1,000 of taxable value) to the original allocated rate to recover that millage reduction and be levied by Richland Township for five years, 2010 through 2014 inclusive, for general operating purposes, which .2140 mill increase will raise an estimated $75,100 in the first year the millage is levied?
