The Michigan legislature moved several pieces of legislation during the lame duck session that could have a major impact on local government. The bills include a revised plan to repeal the business personal property tax, and a new emergency manager law.

The League is holding a LIVE CHAT for League members 10 am Tuesday, December 18, to discuss these bills and to answer your questions about these and any other issues of concern. It is of vital importance that you or another representative from your municipality participate in this discussion.

To participate, call 303-218-2281. Enter the conference ID number 4847273 to listen in.
