Michigan ballot urges bonds for sewage projects with no tax hike
The article discusses Proposal 02-2 in the November General Election, allowing up to 1 billion dollars in state general obligation bonds to fund sewage treatment, storm water, and water pollution projects. It outlines 30 year repayment from the general fund with no tax increase, and notes broad support from Democrats, Republicans, green groups, and business groups, with little organized opposition. It also mentions the impact of the bonds as an impoverished revolving fund offering low interest loans to municipalities to repair pipes and outdated plants.
