Proposal 2026-1: Call a constitutional convention

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?

Proposal 2026-2: Campaign contributions by utilities and government contractors, and political ad disclosure (initiated law)

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?

Shepherd Public Schools: $14.9 million bond proposal

Shall Shepherd Public Schools, Isabella, Gratiot, and Midland Counties, Michigan, borrow the sum of not to exceed Fourteen Million Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars ($14,900,000) and issue its general obligation unlimited tax bonds therefor, in one or more series, for the purpose of: remodeling and equipping school buildings, including roofing and HVAC systems; and preparing, developing, improving and equipping the elementary school playground and site? The following is for informational purposes only: The estimated millage that will be levied for the proposed bonds in 2027, under current law, is 1.65 mills ($1.65 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a 0 mill net increase over the prior year’s levy. The maximum number of years the bonds of any series may be outstanding, exclusive of any refunding, is twenty-five (25) years. The estimated simple average annual millage anticipated to be required to retire this bond debt is 3.24 mills ($3.24 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation). The school district does not expect to borrow from the State to pay debt service on the bonds but expects estimated additional interest attributable to the bonds to be $1,468,914. The total amount of qualified bonds currently outstanding is $3,800,000. The total amount of qualified loans currently outstanding is approximately $15,457,294. The estimated computed millage rate may change based on changes in certain circumstances. (Pursuant to State law, expenditure of bond proceeds must be audited and the proceeds cannot be used for repair or maintenance costs, teacher, administrator or employee salaries, or other operating expenses.)

Village of Shepherd: operating millage restoration

Shall the Village of Shepherd, Isabella County, Michigan, be authorized to levy a tax of up to 1.3632 mills ($1.3632 per $1,000 of taxable value) for general operating purposes, to restore the Village’s authorized operating millage rate, which has been reduced by the Headlee Amendment from 12.5000 mills to 11.1368 mills? If approved, this millage will restore the Village’s authorized general operating millage rate to 12.5000 mills and permit the Village to levy up to that rate for four (4) years, subject to any further Headlee reductions. It is estimated that the 1.3632 mills would raise approximately $56,847.00 in the first year it is levied.
