St. James Township: medical center millage renewal

The question, as printed on the ballot

This proposal renews the 2.0 mill island medical center millage previously approved by the electors that expired after the December 2025 levy. Specifically, the proposal renews the previously authorized 1.9268 mills and restores the 0.0732 mills rolled back by the Headlee Amendment. “Shall the previous voted increase in the tax limitations imposed under Article IX, Sec 6 of the Michigan Constitution in St. James Township of 2.0 mills ($2.00 per $1,000 of taxable value), reduced to 1.9268 mills ($1.9268 per $1,000 of taxable value) by the required millage rollbacks, be renewed at and increased up to the original voted 2.0 mills ($2.00 per $1,000 of taxable value) and levied for four (4) years, 2026 through 2029 inclusive, for the purpose of providing funds for the operation of Beaver Island’s medical center, which 2.0 mills will raise an estimated $135,986 in the first year the millage is levied?”
