Make sure a tax structure is put in place where part of our income taxes paid to the State is set aside for schools. Go to the graduated income tax formula, really looking at the present property tax structure it is a graduated income tax, not framed on what a person earns, but what he own as far as propety. Take a look around the state and check to see how many residential property owners there are versas how many money earners there are. I think you will find in the long run the moneer earners are greater than Michigan residential properter owners. People who own prooerty in Michigan who are not residents should continue to pay property taxes. No residents properties should be taxes or held hostage to gain monies to run any part of government. Either raise sales tax or get a real life on income tax so all can pay their share. If you study the present process you will find that property owners are being discriminated against to paying all Councty and local governement expesnsed and services, including school taxes. God, if only our politicians would really set down and study this problem out, they would come up with moeney to burn.
