Wolverine schools' operating millage up for renewal in Aug. 5 election

CHEBOYGAN — Voters who live within the boundaries of the Wolverine Community Schools district will be asked to vote on renewing an operating millage for the district in the upcoming Tuesday, Aug. 5 election. Registered voters in portions of Ellis, Mentor and Wilmot townships and all of Nunda Township will vote at the Nunda Township Hall, 12991 S. Straits Highway, according to Cheboygan County Clerk Karen Brewster. There is no early voting for this ballot measure. Wolverine Schools Superintendent Matthew Baughman said the district is asking voters to renew the standard 18-mill operating levy until 2030. "This is not a new tax for homeowners. This a renewal of the non-homestead operating millage that applies to local businesses, rental properties and second homes," Baughman said. "For Wolverine residents who live in their home full time, this tax does not apply to them and their taxes will not increase."

"Renewing it allows us to continue receiving the full foundation allowance from the state. Without this renewal, the district would lose approximately $1.1 million per year, which would significantly impact our ability to operate and serve students," he said. If it doesn't pass, the district is obligated to bring it back before the voters again, Baughman said. — Contact Paul Welitzkin at pwelitzkin@ This article originally appeared on Cheboygan Daily Tribune: Wolverine Community Schools operating millage up for renewal in Aug. 5, 2025 election Solve the daily Crossword

Mills' resignation will mean two Cheboygan council seats at stake in special election

CHEBOYGAN — Diane Mills has resigned from the Cheboygan City Council because she will be moving out of the city. Mills, who also serves as mayor pro tem, was appointed to council in 2021 to fill a vacant seat for a term ending in 2022. She won a special election in November 2021 to fill the remainder of that term. In November 2022, she ran again and won a second term that would have ended in 2026. "I will be moving out of the city about mid August. I'll be tendering my resignation on Tuesday (July 8) with (an) effective date of July 22. I don't have to resign until I actually leave Cheboygan, but handing in my resignation letter on the (July 8) will allow the position to be on the ballot for this November's special election as there's already one seat that will be on the ballot. It's all about not having to do another special election in May of 2026 and waste taxpayer money," she told the Daily Tribune. Mills' resignation was announced by Mayor Brett Mallory at the July 8 council meeting.
