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?

Perry Public Schools: $27.77 million bond proposal

Shall Perry Public Schools, Shiawassee and Ingham Counties, Michigan, borrow the sum of not to exceed Twenty-Seven Million Seven Hundred Seventy Thousand Dollars ($27,770,000) and issue its general obligation unlimited tax bonds therefor, in one or more series, for the purpose of: remodeling, furnishing and refurnishing, and equipping and re-equipping school buildings, including school safety and security improvements; erecting, furnishing, and equipping an addition to the middle/high school building; and erecting, equipping, preparing, developing, and improving athletic fields and facilities and sites? The following is for informational purposes only: The estimated millage that will be levied for the proposed bonds in 2027, under current law, is 0.31 mill ($0.31 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a 0.00 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-seven (27) years. The estimated simple average annual millage anticipated to be required to retire this bond debt is 2.99 mills ($2.99 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation). The school district expects to borrow from the State School Bond Qualification and Loan Program to pay debt service on these bonds. The estimated total principal amount of that borrowing is $541,023 and the estimated total interest to be paid thereon is $933,384. The estimated duration of the millage levy associated with that borrowing is 9 years and the estimated computed millage rate for such levy is 7.60 mills. The estimated computed millage rate may change based on changes in certain circumstances. The total amount of qualified bonds currently outstanding is $18,825,000. The total amount of qualified loans currently outstanding is approximately $6,736,072. (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.)
