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?

”Shall the County of Luce renew the levy a property tax of .5 Mill ($0.50 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) as reduced by headlee (.4873 Mill) for a period of three (3) years beginning with the tax year, 2028, 2029, 2030, inclusive, to be used for the care and placement of neglected, abused and delinquent children in Luce County (Child Care Fund); the estimate of revenue the Luce County Child Care Fund will collect if the millage is approved and levied in 2028 is approximately $122,871?” If approved this would be a renewal of a previously authorized millage.

“Shall Luce County continue to levy 1 mill ($1.00 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) as reduced by headlee to fund two sheriff’s deputies and their necessary equipment such that Luce County will continue to have full time patrols, estimated to provide $244,762 in the first year of the levy, for a period of three years beginning tax year 2028, 2029, 2030 inclusive?” If approved this would be a renewal of a previously approved authorized millage.”

Shall the limitation on the amount of taxes which may be imposed on taxable property within the limits of Luce County be renewed at the rate of One Dollar Fifty Cents ($1.50) per thousand dollars ($1,000) (1.5 mills) of the taxable value on all taxable property within Luce County for another five (5) years, 2027 through 2032, inclusive, for the purpose of providing funds for operating, purchasing, equipping, maintaining, and making capital improvements for the Luce County Ambulance Service, and shall Luce County be authorized to renew the levy of such millage for these purposes? If approved and levied in its entirety, it is estimated that the 1.5 mills would raise $356,097.00 for Luce County when levied in 2027. Funds from this millage will be distributed to the Luce County Ambulance Service.

Shall the previously voted increase in the tax limitation on the total amount of taxes that may be levied against all taxable property within the Village of Newberry imposed under Article IX, Sec. 6 of the Michigan Constitution of up to and including 2.0 mills ($2.00 per $1,000 of taxable value) reduced to 1.8162 ($1.8162 per $1,000 of taxable value) by the required millage rollbacks, be renewed in the amount of the original voted 2.0 mills ($2.00 per $1,000 of taxable value) and levied for six (6) years, beginning 2027 through 2032, inclusive, on all taxable property within the Village of Newberry, Luce County, Michigan for the purpose of maintaining, equipping, and operating the Newberry Fire Department, raising an estimated $46,183.00 in the first year the millage is levied?
