Voters Asked
To Back OCC

.JENNIFER FINER STAFF WRITER

A

s Oakland Community
College wages a modest
campaign to informvoters
of its upcoming millage
election, Rabbi Dannel Schwartz,
an outspoken OCC proponent, is
pushing hard for its passage.
The Shir Shalom rabbi is
telling everyone he knows to vote
,_ for the millage. He is mentioning
it in the temple's newsletter and
talking about it at Shabbat ser-
vices.
The rabbi believes it's impor-
tant to support OCC because the
college is in the midst of the com-
munity.
On March 16, all Oakland
County voters are being asked to
approve a one-mill increase in
their property taxes to fund the
college.
This is the first time in OCC's

30-year history a millage is being
put to the voters.
If the millage passes, it would
generate approximately $29.1
million during its first year and
slightly less in subsequent years.
A mill is $1 for each $1,000 of
a property's state equalized val-
uation, which is 50 percent of the
home's market value.
This new revenue would help
maintain tuition costs at the five-
campus, 30,000-student commu-
nity college. In addition, it would
allow the college to purchase in-
structional equipment, upgrade
computer software and hardware
and provide student scholarships.
About 37 percent of OCC fund-
ing comes from tuition and fees,
about 35 percent comes from
property taxes, and just over 24
