Laketown Township BPW franchise sparks dismay over tax payment clause
Laketown Township approves a 30 year BPW franchise with a payment in lieu of taxes clause negotiable only if a future generation or transmission site is built. BPW officials call the clause problematic and inconsistent with agreements in other townships. The township hall was jammed as residents urged approval to keep BPW service, with city council and BPW board still to vote.
