Aren Okemos taxes high enough?
Yes, you bet they are!! Absolutely. Just last spring a local millage was passed to upgrade the Potter Park Zoo in Lansing. This additional property tax is just about to kick in on us, for those who might not remember it. Sure the Bond proponents can always find some other communities where the taxes might be a little higher, particularly here in the State of Michigan, which has quite high taxes on a nationwide comparative basis. Yes, taxes are high enough!! The proposed Bond is asking us to raise our school millage 24%, from 5.7265 to 7.1265 mills.
