Editorial Board conversation: Join city of Muskegon officials to discuss Nov. 4 road millage request | MLive.com:
"MUSKEGON, MI – The MLive Muskegon Chronicle Editorial Board will be conducting a public conversation with city of Muskegon officials concerning the 4-mill property tax for roads on the Nov. 4 ballot.
The Editorial Board will be providing a position on the request to increase the city of Muskegon's annual levy from 10 to 14 mills with the current Muskegon City Commission dedicating the new property tax to road repairs and maintenance.
One mill equals $1 of tax for every $1,000 of taxable value.
The additional mills, if approved by voters, would provide approximately $2 million more per year in revenues to the city.
City officials have estimated that more than $72 million in road repairs are needed in Muskegon to bring all roads and streets up to acceptable standards."
