proposal info
Just the results. I had a hard time finding these for some reason, and im sure some other people were wondering how it turned out.
State Proposal - 06-1: Constitutional Amendment: Dedicate Use of Conservation/Recreation Funds
YES - 80%
State Proposal - 06-2: Constitutional Amendment: Ban Affirmative Action Programs
YES - 58%
State Proposal - 06-3: Referendum: Hunting Season for Mourning Doves
NO - 69%
State Proposal - 06-4: Constitutional Amendment: Restrict Use of Eminent Domain
YES - 80%
State Proposal - 06-5: Legislative Initiative: Establish Mandatory School Funding
NO - 62%
Im sort of surprised the AA ban went through, but hey, maybe ill get into UofM this time around for grad school.
Why did michigan vote down the school funding one? Just because it would have meant a heavy increase in public taxes?
Proposal 06-5
A legislative intitiative to establish mandatory school funding levels
The proposed law would:
* Increase current funding by approximately $565 million and require State to provide annual funding increases equal to the rate of inflation for public schools, intermediate school districts, community colleges, and higher education (includes state universities and financial aid / grant programs)
* Require state to fund any deficiencies from General Fund
* Base funding for school districts with a declining enrollment on three-year student enrollment average
* Reduce and cap retirement fund contribution paid by public schools, community colleges and state universities; shift remaining portion to state
* Reduce funding gap between school districts receiving basic per-pupil foundation allowance and those receiving maximum foundation allowance.
I guess I agree with the first two points, but the rest sort of screw inner city schools that need more funding to get caught up to speed. Especially the last point.
