"What is a “special assessment” ???
Lansing is trying to create what they call a "special assessment" to allow private businesses to soak up your property taxes in order to make their businesses more profitable at your expense.
That's what House Bill 5325 (HB5325) would do.
Here is how MichiganVotes.org describes the effect of the legislation:
"To expand the taxing power of local authorities created to deliver direct and indirect subsidies to business property owners in “principal shopping districts” and “business improvement districts,” by letting them impose property taxes styled as “special assessments” on home and residential property owners.
Under current law residential property is excluded from the “assessments” these entities are authorized to impose."
This is the latest con that Lansing has come up with to rob us of our hard-earned money and funnel it into the coffers of their cronies.
No doubt the lobbyist who came up with this one (perhaps while bribing one of our Reps or Senators with a free three-course dinner) was rewarded handsomely by their masters for coming up with this scheme.
HOW DO WE STOP THIS?...
