The question, as printed on the ballot

Shall the tax limitation on all taxable property within Tuscola County, Michigan, be increased and the County be authorized to levy a new millage in the amount of 0.03 mills ($0.03 per $1,000 of taxable value) annually, for six (6) years, 2027 to 2032 inclusive, to provide dedicated services and programs to veterans of the United States military and their qualified dependents within the County (“Veterans Services”)? The estimated revenue the County will collect in the first year of levy (2027) if the millage is approved is approximately $72,575. To the extent required by law, a portion of the revenues collected from this millage (estimated to be approximately 0.6% in the first year), will be captured by or disbursed to the Caro Downtown Development Authority (“DDA”), Cass City DDA, Millington DDA and Vassar DDA.
