Tax limit issue puzzles Michigan supervisors in Lansing
Michigan public officials Return from Lansing undecided how to finance distressed units under the 15 mill tax limitation amendment. Governor Comstock warned the change would cut the income of government units by 100 million this year. Detroit challenges the amendment as improper in form and conflicts with state constitution. Defendants argue it affects only taxation power and that machinery for allocation must be provided by the legislature. Both sides plan to appeal to the state supreme court after a lower court ruling.
