Resident urges transparency on proposed back-to-school tax relief, outlines 'Stuff A Bus' event
Summary
At the Greenville City Council special meeting on May 26, resident Jeff Hines urged the council to use opportunities such as the proposed Michigan Senate Bill 498 to help families save money and said he plans to host a local 'Stuff A Bus, Back to School Edition' event.
Jeff Hines, a Greenville resident, spoke during the Statement of Citizens at the special council meeting on May 26, urging transparency around Michigan Senate Bill 498, which had not yet passed and would create a back-to-school tax relief window from Aug. 8–24 if enacted.
Hines encouraged the council to consider local actions that could help families prepare for the school year and said he intends to host an event called 'Stuff A Bus, Back to School Edition' to provide supplies to local students. His comments were recorded during the Statement of Citizens and again during the public hearing on the water system planning document; the council considered public comments as part of the hearing record but took no formal action on the matters Hines raised.
The council did not debate or vote on local tax relief or event support at the meeting; those topics were raised as public comment only.
