@murphmonkey

@murphmonkey want your feedback when time… do I have it right that people/families who bought homes before Headlee 1978 have disproportionately benefited from it compared to anyone purchasing after it was in place? Similarly, longer you have owned, less impact?

Also, was looking into effects of Headlee and Prop A 1994, how they interact. I came upon this, “The net result—a less than inflationary increase in the actual dollars received from property taxes…”

“…Consequently, the 1994 change to the General Property Tax Act has prevented local governments from being able to share the benefits of any substantial market growth in existing property values.” does this mean that development does not actually “increase tax base”?

I was unable to attend the listening tour event last night.

Did anyone mention that our GOP friends running the state legislature have a bill that would end the public administration of our county mental health systems? #mentalhealth #michigan 1/8 wemu.org/post/mental-he…

“But the Michigan Association of Counties and groups that advocate for people with mental health and disabilities argued Tuesday that shifting the state’s largely public mental-health system to private insurers builds profits for health insurers 2/8

while stripping the $3.6 billion system of public accountability.” ——- From Bridge article by Robin Erb linked to below in first comment** 3/8

Getting the “Not All Landlords” nonsense from the usual #A2HAHA suspects over on facespace. #A2Council 1/4

https://twitter.com/aatuofficial/status/1447547533258117124

Sure, there are landlords who are ethical, work hard to serve tenant needs… and protect their investments which are paid for by… [checks notes] their tenants. 2/4

Best thing these (some of them self promoting social justice warrior) landlords can do is to turn over their properties to the communities they are currently making bank on and use their skills to help with cooperative property management. 3/4
