Description

Total revenue sharing payments sent by the state of Michigan to local governments have decreased by 45% since 2001. How have our local governments met this challenge? What can be done to reverse this trend?

League of Women Voters of Michigan Vice President Susan Smith will moderate a panel, including representatives from county, city, and township levels of government, to discuss how the Michigan Legislature’s revenue sharing policies and budgets have affected local governments and how local governments are meeting these challenges.

The program is cosponsored by the League of Women Voters of the Ann Arbor Area.
