Dear shelley,

 

On Tuesday, Nov. 3, Michigan residents will vote on Proposal 1If approved, this measure would give the state more flexibility in providing outdoor recreation opportunities while also conserving important natural lands. 

 

If approved, this measure would:

  • Allow the State Parks Endowment Fund (SPEF) to continue receiving money from the sale of oil and gas from state-owned lands to improve, maintain and purchase land for state parks until its balance reaches $800,000,000.
  • Require subsequent oil and gas revenue from state-owned lands to go into the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund (MNRTF).
  • Require at least 20% of SPEF's annual spending to go toward state park improvements.
  • Require at least 25% of MNRTF's annual spending to go toward parks and public recreation areas and at least 25% toward land conservation projects.

Proposal 1 would not increase taxes but it would change the way the state’s tax revenue is currently allocated. The last day to submit your completed ballot is Nov. 3 by 8 p.m. Find your nearest ballot drop off location here
