St. Joseph Charter Township issued the following announcement on Oct. 20.
MTA is supporting Proposal 1, one of the two statewide ballot proposals on the November ballot, which will help to protect Michigan’s natural assets—our water and public recreation resources. The proposal seeks to expand the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund, which funds land conservation and public recreation across our state, including adding “renovation” and “redevelopment” of public recreation facilities as an allowable use of trust fund dollars. The proposal would also allow the trust fund to receive revenues from royalties on oil, gas and mining on state-owned land, and require that the amount of trust fund dollars for development and renovation of public recreation facilities match the amount disbursed for land acquisition. We urge our members to support this proposal, which will benefit many townships across our state.
