Voting for proposal B, Cob­
bin said, will not necessarily be
a property tax relief. Proposal B
will only allow for a tax shift in­
stead of a reduction, she said .
Committee chair Frank
Hayden agreed with Cobbin's
comments on Proposal A saying
it was because of the immediate
availability of Proposal A funds.
However, he warned though
Proposal A is better than B,
both are far from enough.
"Neither one of these
proposals deal with equity,"
. Hayden said, emphasizing that
Detroit nedds continual cash
now and in the future to help
solve its fmanical problems.
Citizens for millage also met

This committee distributed
literature in support of
