Previous descripton of Bolger amendment wrong.

The previous description stated that the amendment "canceled out" the transparency provisons in the House substitute. It did not. It instead prohibited a school district that already levies a recreation tax authorized under a separate statute from also levying a tax under this statute.

MichiganVotes apologizes to users and to Rep. Bolger for our error. In keeping with the Mackinac Center's guarantee of quality scholarship, the mistake was fixed as soon as it was brought to our attention.

Sincerely,

Oh yes, please follow in lockstep with our Michigan Senate to allow more millages on our property taxes! Can you also tax the banks for this for all the foreclosed homes and property they are holding?

Laying more millages on seniors, or other property owners that don't have their kids involved in organized sports is ludicrous. We can't seem to properly educate the children in the three R's or to put a proper sentence together, "he goes, and she goes", instead of "he said, and she said", but we sure can afford to teach them how to run the bases. Can't we?

More property taxes will be a great help to those barely able to afford hanging onto their existing homes, especially with those who have lost their employment and those who are in line to suffer a similar fate.
