Our @SaveMICity initiative has repeatedly said that our state’s system for funding local government is broken and needs reform. A new @CLOSUP Public Policy Survey agrees. @MMLeague SMC bloghttp://bit.ly/3aefeKr

Michigan cities are having a hard time finding their next city manager. Why? Our state’s broken municipal finance system is partly to blame. @SaveMICity @MMLeague bit.ly/3a7U2FK

Local govt. officials aren’t as optimistic as they used to be about their community’s financial situation. That’s a key takeaway from new @CLOSUP Public Policy Survey. @MMLeague @DPGilmartin @aminghine bit.ly/3aefeKr

Michigan cities aren’t benefiting from increasing real estate values. @MMLeague’s @aminghine says Michigan’s local governments have been pushing for reforms to address stagnant taxable values. @DPGilmartin bit.ly/2vcAUXS

In a recent @crainsdetroit article, @MottFoundation CEO Ridgeway White shares his understanding of the plight of Michigan cities. It’s encouraging to see such a prominent person and organization share the @SaveMICity concerns. bit.ly/2uHSumt

“If our state governments and our federal government aren’t going to join with local units and actually invest in these places, it’s not going to be a great outcome. We’ve got to figure out a better way to do that,” said Dan Gilmartin, MML CEO and executive director.

The real drivers of economic prosperity – Michigan communities – aren't able to thrive with the state’s broken finance system. Michiganders are not given the opportunity to create great places that attract business and talent. #SaveMICity savemicity.org/2019-city-fisc…

A recent Michigan Municipal League survey found cuts in revenue sharing have hurt basic community services across Michigan. Michigan’s infrastructure needs to change before our communities can grow. #SaveMICity #GrowMICity

When it comes to investing in local government, Michigan has a broken system that is worse than any state in the nation. We must reform our system to invest in what matters most: our communities. Invest. Support. GROW. #SaveMICity #MIBudget
