Question 1 - Crawford County Veterans Affairs Millage Renewal

Shall the previously authorized increase in tax limitation upon the total amount of general ad valorem taxes imposed upon real and tangible personal property for all purposes in any one year under Article IX, Section 6 of the Michigan Constitution in the County of Crawford, Michigan be renewed at the reduced amount of 0.20 mills (which is equal to $0.20 per $1,000.00 of taxable value of all such property) for a period of six (6) years, 2024 through 2029 inclusive, for the purpose of funding, equipping, staffing, maintaining and operating a Department of Veterans Affairs to provide support and assistance services to all qualified veterans, their eligible spouses and families as authorized under PA 192 of 1953 and to be administered and operated under the guidelines set forth under PA 192 of 1953? The amount of revenue the County will collect if the millage is approved and levied by the County in the first calendar year is estimated to be $165,220. The proposed millage is a renewal of a previously authorized millage, and, to the extent required by law, a portion of the revenue from which is expected to be captured by and disbursed to the Crawford County Brownfield Redevelopment Authority.
