Precinct 1

Shall a convention of elected delegates be convened in 2027 to draft a general revision of the State Constitution for presentation to the state’s voters for their approval or rejection?

The proposal would: • Prohibit regulated electric and gas utilities, contractors with over $250,000 annually in government contracts, and people and organizations with substantial connections to these utilities/contractors from making direct or indirect campaign contributions to those who run for or hold offices that impact them. • Expand laws regulating spending on political communications, including those requiring disclosing donor information, to apply to communications clearly identifying candidates or ballot questions, even if they do not expressly advocate voting for/against them. • Expressly apply the law requiring disclosure of who paid for political communications to internet political communications. Should this proposal be adopted?

If approved and levied in full, this millage will raise an estimated $1,220,546 for public safety purposes within the County in the first calendar year of the levy. In accordance with State law, a portion of the millage may also be captured by the DDA/TIFA of the City of Bad Axe and Village of Port Austin, and the DDA of the City of Caseville and the Villages of Elkton and Sebewaing.

Shall the previous voted increase in the tax limitation imposed under Article IX, Sec. 6 of the Michigan Constitution on general ad valorem taxes within Port Austin Township be renewed at 1.50 mills ($1.50 per $1,000 of taxable value) for the period of 2026 through 2035 inclusive for township road repairs, road maintenance, tree trimming and street light installation, operation and repair, and shall the Township levy such renewal in millage for said purpose, thereby raising in the first year an estimated $200,000.00.
