Introduced
by
To transfer to the Cobo authority created by Senate Bill 585 $16 million in annual tobacco tax revenue money that would have gone to Detroit through 2016 to pay Cobo Hall bonds, and add another $15 million annually from 2016 through 2039. That extra money would pay debt service on money borrowed now for Cobo repairs and upgrades (or to expand a facility in Oakland County if the Detroit city council turns down this deal).

Received
Passed in the Senate 31 to 1 (details)

See <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2009-HB-4998">House Bill 4998</a> for other details of the final deal.
