What's on the ballot in Bourret Township, Gladwin County

Shall the expired previous voted increase in the tax limitations imposed under Article IX, Sec. 6 of the Michigan Constitution in Bourret Township of 1.000 mills ($1 per $1,000 of taxable value), reduced to 0.9542 mills ($0.9542 per $1,000 of taxable value) by the required millage rollbacks be renewed at 1.000 mills ($1 per $1,000 of taxable value) and levied for five years, 2026 through 2030 inclusive, for the purpose of providing road brining services, raising an estimated $28,977.00 in the first year the millage is levied.

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 West Branch-Rose City Area Schools, Ogemaw, Gladwin and Oscoda Counties, Michigan, be increased by 5 mills ($5.00 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a period of 9 years, 2026 to 2034, inclusive, to provide funds for operating purposes; the estimate of the revenue the school district will collect if the millage is approved and 1.0515 mills are levied in 2026 is approximately $541,898 (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)?
