What's on the ballot in Cornell Township, Delta County

Shall the previous voted increase in the tax limitation on general ad valorem taxes within Cornell Township, Delta County, imposed under Article IX, Sec. 6 of the Michigan Constitution, be renewed at 1 mill ($1.00 per $1,000 of taxable value) for a period of 10 years, 2028 to 2037 inclusive, for the purpose of operations, maintenance, building, updating equipment, including personnel protective equipment, and training of firemen? The estimated revenue generated from the 1.0 mills that will be collected in the first year that the millage is authorized and levied will be $ 30,871.72.

This proposal will allow the school district to levy the statutory rate of not to exceed 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. Shall the limitation on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, in Escanaba Area Public Schools, Delta and Marquette Counties, Michigan, be increased by 2.6061 mills ($2.6061 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a period of 6 years, 2026 to 2031, 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 2026 is approximately $170,500 (this millage is to restore millage lost as a result of the reduction required by the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and will be levied only to the extent necessary to restore that reduction)?
