Saginaw voters turn down proposal to repeal property tax cap

SAGINAW, Mich. (WJRT) - Voters in Saginaw turned down the proposal to eliminate the property tax cap. The measure lost by six points. In 1979, Saginaw residents voted to put a limit on property tax collections at $3.8 million, a limit believed to be like no other in the country. No inflation is included in that tax cap, so over the years, the city says it has reduced services because costs have increased.
