Keys to the Case:
Petitioner claimed it was a “charity” and that its real and personal property should be exempt from property taxes. The review of Federal and State statutes, as well as cross-examination testimony, all indicating that participation with Petitioner is considered a cost of a utility doing business in the State of Michigan, established that Petitioner was not providing a gift or charity, and should not be tax exempt.
