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?

"For the purpose of replacing outdated radio equipment for Fire, Police and Emergency Medical Services and other equipment necessary for the 9-1-1 Central Dispatch System to effectively provide and ensure twenty-four hour public safety communications service to the citizens, communities and public responders of Saginaw County and for otherwise continuing operations of the Saginaw County 9-1-1 Authority, shall the County of Saginaw, Michigan (hereafter 'County') renew the previously authorized amount of general ad valorem taxes which may be imposed for all purposes upon all taxable real and personal property in Saginaw County, as provided in Article 9, Section 6 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963, as amended, which last resulted in a levy of 0.2800 Mill, and continue to levy up to 0.2800 Mill ($0.2800 per $1,000) of taxable valuation of such property as finally equalized during the years 2028-2037, both inclusive, which if approved and levied in its entirety is estimated to raise $2,031,015 in the first year?"

This proposal will allow the intermediate school district to continue to levy millage previously approved by the electors for area career and technical education programs and restores millage lost as a result of the reduction required by the Michigan Constitution of 1963. Shall the currently authorized millage rate limitation of .9962 mill ($0.9962 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property in Saginaw Intermediate School District, Michigan, to provide funds for area career and technical education programs, be renewed for a period of 10 years, 2028 to 2037, inclusive; and also be increased by .0038 mill ($0.0038 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a period of 10 years, 2028 to 2037, inclusive, the estimate of the revenue the intermediate school district will collect if the millage is approved and levied in 2028 is approximately $7,082,354 from local property taxes authorized herein (this is a renewal of millage that will expire with the 2027 tax levy and a restoration of millage lost as a result of the reduction required by the Michigan Constitution of 1963)?
