 MichiganVotes: Proposed Bill Would Provide Accountability For Land Banks

County land banks rife with problems

By Jarrett Skorup |Courtesy of Michigan Capitol Confidential

The Wayne County Land Bank scooped up 240 acres, spent $26 million on “improvements,” and sold the land to a developer for $1 with the promise of thousands of jobs – who promptly turned around and re-sold seven of the acres for $179,000 while the jobs never materialized. The Kent County Land Bank has blocked more than 40 properties from being sold, stopping sales to private developers in order to fund themselves – despite state law prohibiting the entities from doing so. The land bank in Genesee County wants to selectively subsidize housing for certain government employees. … more

School Board Chooses To Demolish Building Rather Than Sell to Charter Group

Politics alive and well in public schools

By Michael Van Beek | Courtesy of Michigan Capitol Confidential

School boards are sometimes held as shining examples of democracy at its finest — where constituents’ and children’s best interests are truly represented. This is in contrast to the simplistic narrative of what happens in Lansing and Washington, D.C., where rich lobbyists and power-hungry politicians rule the day. A recent story from a mid-sized Michigan school district, however, demonstrates that even at the local level, political self-interest can and does drive decision-making. … more

Displaying a sports team bumper sticker without being a member of the organization is a misdemeanor. Throwing a few bucks into the office college basketball tournament pool is illegal gambling.

That law requires school district and local government employees to pay at least 20 percent of the cost of their health care benefits, or alternatively, caps the employer’s aggregate costs through a formula that adds up the amount spent on coverage for individual, individual-plus-spouse, and family plans. … more
