Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The proposal aims to continue library services, which were previously at risk due to funding cuts in the Hancock School District Library arrangement with the Portage Lake District Library. The millage increase would result in homeowners paying less than $40 a year for each $100,000 of taxable property value for five years, according to the board.
