Jim Stamas, the budget report included a 2.5% increase ($6.2 million) in funding for those cities, villages and townships that have been receiving statutory revenue sharing. This increase, alongside the expected improvement in sales tax collections that are estimated to improve Constitutional revenue sharing payments by more than $40 million, would reverse last year&#8217;s overall revenue sharing decline and provide the first increase on the statutory side in more than three years.<\/p>\n<p>It should be noted that this morning&#8217;s conference agreement on SB 142 (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.legislature.mi.gov\/documents\/2017-2018\/billanalysis\/House\/pdf\/2017-HLA-0142-7AA49F7E.pdf\">http:\/\/www.legislature.mi.gov\/documents\/2017-2018\/billanalysis\/House\/pdf\/2017-HLA-0142-7AA49F7E.pdf<\/a>) was developed without any input from the Snyder Administration or the Department of Treasury, as the Administration and Legislature continue to haggle over Legislative leadership&#8217;s desire to include a closure of the MI Public School Employees Retirement System as a part of the spending for the upcoming budget year.<\/p>\n<p>This means that while both chambers have consistently supported increases for cities, villages and townships throughout this year&#8217;s budget development process, the Administration did not originally recommend any increase and could resist the proposed increase if this version is presented for his signature without an overall deal in place on the MPSERS situation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>League members should contact the Governor&#8217;s office and urge his support for this proposed increase and for a long-term plan for restoration of the devastating cuts of the past decade.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Posted by Matt Bach on behalfof Chris Hackbarth.
