Episode Details

Orion Township is racing against time to get voters to approve two new public safety millages—police and fire/EMS—before they run out of funds by June next year. After earlier proposals failed, officials have lowered the tax rates: police at 3.41 mills (down from 3.75) and fire at 2.92 mills (down from 3.85). A third, smaller 0.4 mill increase targets fire capital needs like equipment and staff. With residents wary of taxes and concerned about how funds are allocated, township leaders are splitting the ballot items to give voters clearer choices—and hoping this revised approach will win approval before November.
