Eaton County proposes millage to address public safety budget
LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) –The issue with the biggest contention on today's ballot is the Public Safety Proposal. It aims to add two mills to the coffers, specifically covering the needs of the Sheriff's department, which includes animal control, and the prosecutor's office. A similar measure was on the ballot in November, though that one would have added a payment of three mills per homeowner without being designated to a particular government department in advance. Eaton County prosecutor Doug Lloyd says he's down four staff members, and if the proposal doesn't pass, then he expects to lose more. Eaton County Sheriff Tom Reich notes that without additional budgetary increases like this proposal, then there will be less law enforcement personnel on the roads. The millage would add approximately $10 million to the budget in its first year alone, at an average cost to taxpayers of $12 monthly. Although 6 News This Morning couldn't find anyone to go on record against the proposal, Facebook group posts showed that it's a divisive issue with hesitations leaning towards an additional tax, which might become a burden.
