Michigan Municipal League proposes plan to help cities fund infrastructure, services | MLive.com:"LANSING — An expanded sales tax, increased gas tax and forgivable student loans are among Michigan Municipal League's ideas for boosting the economy and fixing local finance problems.
Local governments have for years slashed staff and struggled to fund basic services as state revenue sharing declined, property values plummeted and laws limited municipalities' ability to collect new tax revenue.
"The infrastructure, the basic structure for collecting money for local government, has proven not to work for at least two decades," said Utica Mayor and MML President Jacqueline Noonan."
