UNIVERSITY CENTER — While the majority of American’s are eager to cast their ballot for the 46th President of the United States, local issues are ones that shouldn’t be missed.
Hitting the same ballot this November 3rd, is Delta College’s proposal for a millage renewal in their district – Bay, Midland and Saginaw counties.
The **millage is an eight-year millage renewal and restoration proposal that includes renewing the current rate of 0.4864 mills and restoring 0.0136 mills of funding.
The restoring aspect of the millage will return the funding level to 0.5000 mills, which was approved and voted for in 1990.
This ballot proposal will allow Delta College to offer unique programs and services that benefit its students and community including instructional programs, workforce training and equipment and facilities maintenance.
**Notes – A millage is a tax rate that is imposed on real estate or other property. A mill is one thousandth of a dollar. The millage rate is the number of dollars of tax assessed for each $1,000 of property value according to WHYY, a media organization set in Pennsylvania.
