PROPOSAL SECTION
State
Proposal 2026-1 A proposal to convene a constitutional convention for the purpose of drafting a general revision of the state constitution
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?
State
Proposal 2026-2 A proposed initiated law to prohibit campaign contributions from certain regulated utilities and government contractors and apply campaign finance laws and regulations to additional types of political communications
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?
Your choiceTownship
Road Millage Proposal
is proposed that Standish Township levy a tax of 1.00 Mill. The proposed millage includes (1) a renewal of 0.9955 mill that was previously approved by voters in 2022 and (2) an increase of 0.0045 mill as new additional millage. This renewal and increase would restore the Township's authority, which was reduced by law, to levy a total of 1.00 mill. The money raised would be used to fund the construction, preservation, improvements, repairs, and maintenance of the roads within Standish Township. This would cost you about $1.00 for each $1,000.00 of your taxable real and personal property. The charge would apply each year from 2026 through 2029, inclusive. Approximately $64,773.48 would be raised in the first year. Should the proposed renewal and increase be approved?
Your choiceTownship
Mosquito Reduction and Control Proposal
This millage proposal would allow Standish Township to levy 1.00 Mill for the purpose of reducing and controlling the mosquito population within Standish Township. Shall Standish Township, Arenac County, Michigan, increase the limitation on the total amount of general ad valorem taxes which may be imposed for all purposes in Article IX, Section 6 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963, as amended, by 1.00 Mill ($1.00 per $1,000.00 of taxable value) for a period of four (4) years (2026 through 2029, inclusive), which would provide an estimated revenue of $64,773.48 in its first year if approved and levied, for the purpose of reducing and controlling the mosquito population within Standish Township. Should the proposed millage increase be approved?
