Subject: | Dedicated Municipal Property Tax for Police Departments - Second Class Townships |
Currently, municipalities are authorized to dedicate up to three mills of their property taxes to support fire companies and one-half mill to support ambulance corps. In the near future, I will be introducing legislation that authorizes municipalities to dedicate up to three mills to support their municipal police department following a referendum. Many municipal boards are unsure of the public support for the additional expenses of starting or contracting with a municipal police department or regional department. The referendum would ensure a local police department is something the residents support. Please join me in cosponsoring this legislation and provide our municipal police departments with a dedicated funding stream. |
