There is a millage vote on Oakland, Macomb and Wayne Counties ballot on the Aug 7 Primary Election. Mine is headed "Oakland County Art Institute Authority Millage". It is to support "...institute services for the students, residents and visitors of Oakland County" [[who can refuse to vote for the students?). It's to "provide revenue to an art institute provider for this purpose". The millage will be for 10 years and realize $10M per year in Oakland [[don't know about Macomb and Wayne). If the vote fails in one county it fails in all.
It is a subsidy for The DIA but that fact doesn't figure anywhere in the request.
