3 Chances to Hear From Tom McMillin This Month

The Republican representative will host two town hall meetings on property taxes and hold office hours in the district in February.

 

Tom McMillin, the Republican state representative representing Rochester, Rochester Hills and Oakland Township, invites his consitutents to three events this month.

  • McMillin will hold office hours from 4 to 5 p.m. Monday, Feb. 25 at the Rochester Hills City Hall.
  • He will also hold two town hall meetings to discuss property tax assessments. The meetings are designed to help residents understand, evaluate and potentially appear the assessments. They are planned for 7 to 8:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 18 at the Rochester Hills City Hall; and 7-8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 27 at the Older Persons' Commission in Rochester. 

(UPDATE: The Feb. 18 property tax forum has been canceled, according to a news release issued today by McMillin's office.)

    No reservation or appointment is necessary for any of these events.

    This year, McMillin returns as chair of the House Oversight Committee while also chairing the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules. He will also serve on the House Committees on Education, Regulatory Reform and a new committee on Financial Liability Reform. 

    McMillin has also introduced House Joint Resolution D, which would make Michigan's Legislature part time — meeting 90 days a year.  "Our major task, the budget, has been completed early in session for the last two years," McMillin stated in a press release. "A part-time legislature would create an incentive to get the work done quickly, as we have, and then get out of Lansing."

    Contact McMillin directly at (866) 969-0450 or e-mail TomMcMillin@house.mi.gov.

    Kristen, I was wondering if there will be any local townhall meetings regarding oil/gas company leasing (fracking) in the coming months. I heard about one in West Bloomfield on Feb 27th but am not sure of the specifics. Perhaps one in Rochester/Rochester Hills is in order. Keep us posted.......thanks!

    Hi, Cheryl. I haven't heard of any townhall meetings being planned, but I know some neighborhood associations and homeowner's associations have had meetings. If anyone knows of anything coming up, please post here.

    Kristen, I read about possible drilling in Stoney Creek Cemetary and went over to check it out! There certainly has been some digging as exploration I suspect. This is too close for comfort! Our homeowners association is unaware! It would be great to get feedback from those previously contacted. We don't need drilling here!

    This might be the only townhall meeting in the foreseeable future on fracking:
