The question, as printed on the ballot

This proposal will partially restore millage lost as a result of reductions required by the Michigan Constitution of 1963. Shall the tax limitation on the amount of general ad valorem taxes assessed within the Village of Pewamo, Ionia County, Michigan, as imposed by Article IX, Section 6 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963, which taxes may be assessed against all property in the Village, be increased by 2 mills ($2.00 on each $1,000 of taxable value), for a period of 4 years, 2027 to 2030, inclusive, to provide funds for operating purposes; the estimate of the revenue the Village will collect if the millage is approved and levied in 2027 is approximately $34,324 (this millage is to partially restore millage lost as a result of reductions required by the Michigan Constitution of 1963)?

A “Yes” vote means

A yes vote adds up to 2 mills for 2027–2030 for village operating purposes, partially restoring millage lost to reductions required by the state constitution.

A “No” vote means

A no vote rejects the additional operating millage.
