On the November ballot, Jackson College will be asking voters to restore their originally authorized charter millage of 1.33 mills. This is essentially a Headlee override. Headlee has knocked Jackson College down to 1.1327 mills. If voters say yes to the 1964 level it would mean about $1.2 million in additional yearly revenue. For property owners for a home valued at $100,000 it would cost less than $10 a year. If your home is valued at $200,000 the cost is $19.75 a year.
President Dr. Dan Phelan told WKHM recently this cold really assist their Jobs program.
Dr. Phelan said the college is not asking voters for an additional authorization, but a return to the original 1.33 mills. However, on the ballot language, the word “increase” is required.
