What's on the ballot in Marquette Township, Mackinac County

Shall the previously voted increase in the tax limitation imposed under Article IX, Section 6 of the Michigan Constitution on general ad valorem taxes within MACKINAC COUNTY, MICHIGAN of .50 mill ($0.50 per $1,000 of taxable value) be renewed for a period of four years, being 2027, 2028, 2029, AND 2030, inclusive for the purpose of providing operating funds to continue and enhance Mackinac County Community Action Agency’s Meals Programs and Mackinac County Community Action Agency’s Senior Services in Mackinac County, thereby raising in the first year (2027) an estimated $668,850

This proposal will allow the school district to continue 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. The remaining 2 mills are only available to be levied to restore millage lost as a reduction required by the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and will only be levied to the extent necessary to restore that reduction. 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 Les Cheneaux Community Schools, Mackinac and Chippewa Counties, Michigan, be increased by 20 mills ($20.00 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a period of 5 years, 2027 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 18 mills are levied in 2027 is approximately $3,576,324 (this is a replacement of millage that expired with the 2026 tax levy)?
