Meader push on payments in lieu of taxes for federal plants
In a House Government Operations Committee move, George Meader backs a bill requiring payments in lieu of property taxes by about 60 federal industrial plants leased to private operators. The plan would send funds to cities and school districts as if privately owned, possibly affecting three Michigan plants and a Bridgeport Brass plant in Adrian. The Senate may consider a similar bill, but adjournment rush jeopardizes passage this session.
