DETROIT (AP) — Wayne County Executive Warren Evans has asked a regional board to consider a new proposal to fund public transportation improvements.
Evans presented a draft of the plan Thursday to the Regional Transit Authority of Southeast Michigan. He wants it to go before voters in November.
The plan calls for a 1.5 mill property tax on Wayne, Macomb, Oakland and Washtenaw counties. It is projected to raise more than $5 billion over two decades.
Evans says it would increase annual property taxes on a $157,504 home by $118.
A tax for a regional transportation plan narrowly was voted down in 2016.
