The substitute passed by voice vote
Passed in the House 103 to 1 (details)
To (implicitly) authorize the transfer of 724 acres of the psychiatric hospital located in York Township, Washtenaw County, to Toyota Motor Car company. This vote takes place after the state received a bid of $9 million from Toyota, which is less than the land’s appraised value, and a $25.25 million bid from a Michigan developer who plans to build 1,000 homes on the property. The sale of the property at a lower price is justified by language in the bill authorizing it if this serves "the best interests of the state, including the creation of high-technology or highly skilled jobs." The developer is suing the state over this. The bill also offers the old State Police post in the City of Alpena to public bodies there for public use at less than fair market value, and if no local public body wants it, authorizes its sale to the highest bidder.
Passed in the Senate 25 to 9 (details)
