2003 Senate Bill 575 ↩

House Roll Call 355: Passed

To cut the statutory revenue sharing to cities, villages and townships by 10.26 percent, and by three-percent to counties. Given the differing proportions of statutory and Constitutionally-mandated revenue sharing which comprise the payments made to particular local governments, this formula has the effect of reducing payments more to the large (and poorer) cities and less to small ones. For example, Detroit's reduction would be $15 million greater than under the governor's proposed across-the-board three-percent reduction from the combined Constitutional and statutory payments.
