IN RE: OPPOSITION TO THE TISCH AMENDMENT
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, the supporters of the Tisch Amendment appear to have
sufficient signatures to place the issue on the November ballot; and
WHEREAS, the Tisch. Amendment reduces property assessments which.
is the base for calculating the property taxes; and
WHEREAS, the Tisch Amendment allows for the increase in the state
income tax and creates a new local income tax to be imposed by school
districts; and
WHEREAS, an analysis of the Tisch Amendment indicates that its
passage would result in a tax increase for most individual taxpayers; and
WHEREAS, the Tisch Amendment would shift the burden of taxation.
from corporations and businesses to wage earners, senior citizens, and
others on fixed income; and
WHEREAS, the Tisch Amendment would shift the collection of tax
dollars from local units of government and school districts to the State of
Michigan, resulting in a significant loss of local control; and
WHEREAS, the Tisch Amendment does not provide the citizens of
Michigan with any protection against significant increases in present taxes,
nor any protection against the creation of new taxes by both the State of
Michigan and the various units of government.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners goes on record as being opposed to the passage of the Tisch
Amendment.
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a. copy of this resolution and the
