&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Overview:<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; State Senator Bertram Johnson (D-Detroit) has introduced Senate Resolution K calling for a ballot proposal that would amend the State Constitution to allow municipalities to impose a local sales tax. <br />
<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A Summary of the Proposed Sales Tax bill:<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; ---------------------------------------------------<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A Senate resolution is calling for a ballot measure to amend the state constitution allowing municipalities to impose up to a 4 percent sales tax beginning Jan. 1, 2012. A city, village or county - or a township in conjunction with a city or village - could impose the tax after receiving approval from voters in the municipality.<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The tax would be an addition to the 6 percent statewide sales tax and would not be imposed for prescription drugs or the purchase of most food, excluding food prepared in restaurants.<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; To get on the state ballot, the Senate resolution requires a two-thirds vote in both chambers and then it would have to be approved by the people of the State of Michigan.<br />

NEW POLL QUESTION:<br />
