What's on the ballot in City of Montrose, Genesee County

Shall there be a renewal of the previously approved authorization of the Genesee County Board of Commissioners to levy a tax of 0.8000 mill ($0.8000 per $1,000.00 of taxable property valuation), upon the taxable valuation of the property within Genesee County, as finally equalized, for each of the five (5) years from 2027 through 2031, inclusive, for the purpose of providing, through the Genesee County Health Department, a health care services delivery system, such as the Genesee Health Plan, for uninsured low-income residents of Genesee County? This is a renewal of the Genesee County Health Care Services Millage that expires after the 2026 levy. The estimated revenue that will be collected during the first year this millage is authorized and levied is $11,280,355.
