Monroe Board to Put Emergency Levy on Ballot
Monroe Board of Education voted to place an emergency tax renewal levy on the November 2 general election ballot. The renewal will not raise taxes but will generate 1.5 million dollars per year for five years and reduce the existing levy by 6.7 million. The move aims to avert a projected deficit by the end of the 2005 2006 school year. The district also finalized a 1.6 million lease purchase agreement to complete athletic fieldhouses. An open house and orientation are set for August 31.

Franklin votes down video store rezoning plan
Franklin City Council rejected the Planning Commission recommendation to rezone an undeveloped residential lot for a Family Video store behind 695 E Second St. Residents cited noise and traffic concerns and fear of commercial creep setting a precedent. The council instead preserved residential zoning and planned for a site plan with city assistance. Additionally, the council placed ballot language for a Franklin Township merger charter amendment, signaling elections for new council members in November 2005 if the merger passes.
