Sumpter Township Police Funding Rejected | Detroit News
Description
Sumpter Township voters rejected a major police funding proposal, slashing operating funds by over 40%—a blow officials call devastating. With just 43% support, yes-voters fear losing critical community protection, while others argue crime is low and the impact minimal. Township leaders blame low turnout and note police haven’t seen a millage hike since 2011, though mobile home communities contribute disproportionately to calls. Now they’re racing to get the measure back on the ballot by November, with new language due by August 11th.
