Resident urges transparency on back-to-school tax relief, announces "Stuff A Bus" event
Summary
During Statement of Citizens at the May 26 Greenville City Council special meeting, resident Jeff Hines urged transparency around Michigan Senate Bill 498's proposed Aug. 8–24 back-to-school tax relief window and said he intends to host a community event called Stuff A Bus, Back to School Edition.
Jeff Hines (109 N. Bower Street) addressed the Greenville City Council during the Statement of Citizens at the special meeting on May 26, 2026, urging transparency about Michigan Senate Bill 498, which—if enacted—would create a back-to-school tax relief window from Aug. 8–24. Hines also said he intends to host a community event, Stuff A Bus, Back to School Edition, aimed at helping families prepare for the school year.
Hines spoke again during the public hearing on Resolution 26-09, telling the council that public transparency matters and encouraging use of opportunities that help community members save money. His remarks were part of the public record but the council took no formal action on Senate Bill 498; the council’s agenda moved to consider and adopt the Project Planning Document for water system improvements later in the meeting.
The meeting record lists Hines’ address and shows his comments as public comment only; the transcript does not indicate any formal council follow-up specific to his event or to SB 498.
