Levy renewal would cut taxes in Clearview Schools
Voters face a renewal of the 6.1 mill levy that first passed five years ago generating 352,690 annually. The renewal would keep the same total revenue but with more homes in the district the tax per home falls. A $60,000 home would pay about 75 yearly versus 112 under the original levy. Funds would likely buy new math and science books as part of a five year textbook replacement program.

Clearview district seeks five year emergency millage levy
A four point zero eight mill five year emergency levy would raise three hundred fifty two thousand six hundred ninety dollars annually to buy textbooks and cover operating costs. A $60,000 home would pay about seventy five dollars yearly with officials pledging no further levies for five years. School board president Robert Hancock is optimistic though county reappraisal may discourage some taxpayers.

Columbia voters urged to renew tax levy for roads
Columbia Township trustees chose a five year renewal levy over a replacement plan after considering recent tax loads. If approved the renewal would raise about 85 000 annually for roads for five years versus about 150 000 with a replacement levy. A home valued at 100 000 would pay about 16 annually under renewal versus 31 under replacement. The board noted prior levies and library and school measures influenced the decision while stressing road maintenance under current funding.

Township renews road levy to fund asphalt work
Bulgrin says the township owns an asphalt machine and can perform much of its road maintenance in-house. The renewal levy, first passed in 1985 and not replaced since, funds crews whose salaries are now not fully covered, with 83 miles of roads to maintain and ongoing new developments. If the levy fails, officials will retry in November.
