State voters face at least three constitutional amendments in November centering on taxation. A sweeping measure would bar property taxes for school and local government except preexisting debt service, reshaping home rule and potentially increasing legislative control.

Perry Powers named as publicity head for the Michigan Liquor Centre Commission.
