Hearing Set for Veterans Relief Millage

At its Sept. 1, 2010 meeting, the Washtenaw County board of commissioners set a Sept. 15 public hearing to get input on the indigent veterans’ relief millage. The board also gave initial approval to levy the 1/40 mill, which does not require voter approval and would raise an estimated $362,415 for services to local veterans. It was first passed two years ago, and cost homeowners $2.50 for every $100,000 of a home’s taxable value.

This report, filed from the board meeting, will be followed by a detailed article. [link]
