The question on your ballot

This millage will allow the County of Montcalm, Michigan to continue to levy the previous voted constitutional tax rate limitation on general ad valorem taxes of 0.45 mills to provide funds for the Montcalm County Commission on Aging for Senior Citizen Services. Shall the Constitutional tax rate limitation on general ad valorem taxes within the County of Montcalm, Michigan, be 0.45 mills ($0.45 per $1,000.00) on the taxable value of such property, subject to reduction as provided by law, for a period of four (4) years, 2027 through 2030, both inclusive, to provide funds for the Commission on Aging for Senior Services within the County of Montcalm, Michigan (such levy is estimated to provide revenues of approximately $1,346,510.71 in 2027 and is a renewal of a previously authorized millage in the amount of 0.45 mills)?
