Levies On The Ballot

Clinton and Fulton townships will ask voters next Tuesday to approve new levies…one to create a cemetery maintenance fund…and the other to even out the residential cost of fire services. Clinton Township has placed a five-year, 0.15-mill levy on the May 4 ballot, to allow the trustees to create a fund specifically for maintaining the township’s five cemeteries. Generating about $31,000 annually, it would end a longtime practice of tapping into the township’s reserves for upkeep. The levy does not include Wauseon Union Cemetery, which generates money separately.
