What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Voters across much of Ingham County supported funding for public safety, parks, and essential services on November 4, 2026. In Lansing, voters approved restoring the essential services millage, which is expected to generate approximately $2.6 million in its first year. Meridian Township voters also supported renewing millages for parks and police and fire protection. Unofficial results indicate voters in Delhi Township backed measures to maintain or restore funding for local government services.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The approvals restore the authorized property tax rate toward 20 mills for five years in Lansing, addressing reductions required under Michigan's Headlee Amendment. These measures ensure continued funding for police, fire protection, and road maintenance across several municipalities in Ingham County.
