HOUGHTON Between 2002 and 2018, the Michigan Legislature withheld some $8.6 billion in revenue sharing from local governments, leaving cities, villages and townships to adjust their drastically reduced budgets, which has included across the board cuts to essential services such as police safety, fire protection, and public health, as well as public parks, and leaving institutions like libraries ways to figure out how to become self-supporting.
In Michigan, revenue sharing consists of both constitutional and statutory payments. As stated in a 2019 report released by the Michigan Municipal League, constitutional payments consist of 15% of gross collections from the 4% sales tax distributed to cities, villages, and townships based on their respective populations. This amount is set by the state constitution.
