I vote in Pittisfied Township, we only have one question on our ballot.

We ae voting for or against a millage called the Regional Enhancement Millage Proposal. This year there has been strong opposition to this millage. Many people feel the public schools have not done enough to reduce the cost of their budgets.

There is a great post on A2chronicle that goes into the pro's and con's of the milage proposal. I would recommend reading this unbiased report of checking out some of the links to see the pro's and con's before voting. I think Mary did a great job of being fair to both sides.

Below is how it will read on the ballot:

REGIONAL ENHANCEMENT MILLAGE PROPOSAL
Pursuant to state law, the revenue raised by the proposed millage will be collected by the intermediate school district and distributed to local public school districts based on pupil membership count.

Shall the limitation on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property in Washtenaw Intermediate School District, Michigan, be increased by 2 mills ($2.00 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a period of 5 years, 2009 to 2013, inclusive, to provide operating funds to enhance other state and local funding for local school district operating purposes; the estimate of the revenue the intermediate school district will collect if the millage is approved and levied in 2009 is approximately $30,000,000?
