Proposal Ballot

Proposal 00-1
A Proposal to Amend the Constitution to Permit State to Provide Indirect Support to Students Attending Nonpublic Pre-Elementary, Elementary and Secondary Schools; Allow the Use of Tuition Vouchers in Certain School Districts; and Require Enactment of Teacher Testing Laws
The proposed constitutional amendment would:
  1. Eliminate ban on indirect support of students attending nonpublic schools through tuition vouchers, credits, tax benefits, exemptions or deductions, subsidies, grants or loans of public monies or property.
  2. Allow students to use tuition vouchers to attend nonpublic schools in districts with a graduation rate under 2/3 in 1998-1999 and districts approving tuition vouchers through school board action or a public vote. Each voucher would be limited to 1/2 of state average per-pupil public school revenue.
  3. Require teacher testing on academic subjects in public schools and in nonpublic schools redeeming tuition vouchers.
  4. Adjust minimum per-pupil funding from 1994-1995 to 2000-2001 level.

Should this proposal be adopted?

 Yes
No

Proposal 00-2
A Proposal to Amend the Constitution to Require a Super Majority Vote (2/3 Vote) of the State Legislature to Enact Certain Laws Affecting Local Governments
The proposed constitutional amendment would:
  1. Require a super majority vote (2/3 vote) of the State Legislature to enact any law which addresses a matter which a county, city, township, village or municipal authority could otherwise address under its governing powers or which places a condition on unrestricted aid extended local governments by the State. (Currently, a simple majority vote of legislature is required to enact such laws.)
  2. Retroactively apply the super majority vote requirement to any such law enacted on or after March 1, 2000.
  3. Exempt from the super majority vote requirement any such law which can be applied at the option of local governments.

Should this proposal be approved?

 Yes
No

Midland County Proposal
Road Millage Renewal Proposal
"Shall the County of Midland, Michigan ("County"), renew the previously approved increase in the limitation on the total amount of general ad valorem taxes which may be imposed for all purposes upon real and personal property in the County, as provided in Article 9, Section 6 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963, as Amended, which in 2000 resulted in a levy of 1 Mill ($1 per $1,000.00) of taxable valuation of such property, as finally equalized for levy in the years 2001 to 2004, both inclusive, which levy is estimated to raise up to 2,950,000.00 in the first year, for the purpose of continuing construction improvements and repairs to highway, road, street and bridge systems in the County of Midland, including its cities and villages as apportioned according to Act 133, public Acts of 1968?" Yes
No

Delta College Millage Proposal
Delta College seeks support for a one-half of one mill for three years temporary millage, to provide a portion of the required local share of a state funded campus renovation project.
Shall the limitation on the amount of taxes which may be imposed on taxable property in the Delta College District be increased by fifty (50) cents per thousand dollars (one-half mill) of the taxable value of all taxable property in the College District for a period of three (3) years, 2001 to 2003 inclusive, as new additional millage to provide funds for capital construction and renovation and to acquire equipment. It is estimated that one-half (1/2) mill would raise approximately $4,216,229 when first levied in 2001. Yes
No
