Forests Vote Endorsement and Lake Plan Highlight Meeting
The Green County Conservation League urged a yes on the forestry mill tax in the upcoming election. Officials discussed Zanders Lake expansion, set April 23 for free tree and shrub distributions to county farmers, and elected Marvin Stauffacher to Browntown district on the board. Richard Camp outlined funds needed for fire protection, recreation and forest management, noting the mill tax increase would add 450 000 to 900 000 for the forestry budget, with a current home value tax of 2 per year rising to 2.50, keeping the program solvent and preventing decline.
