COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – With three candidates vying for sheriff and another three Republicans on the primary ballot looking to replace current 35th District State Representative Andrew Fink, Branch County voters will have lots of choices in the August 6 election.
That also includes operating millage renewals for both the Branch County Commission on Aging and the Branch Area Transit Authority. The Commission on Aging millage is 0.4857 mill for a period of five years, 2025 through 2029, and is estimated to raise $868,017.98 for the COA and Burnside Senior Center in the first calendar year of the levy based on taxable value.
Commission on Aging Executive Director Amy Duff says the renewal is critical.
The Branch Area Transit Authority renewal is for .35 of one mill for five years, generating approximately $607,630 for the 2025 tax year.
In Batavia Township there is a six year renewal question of .5 mill for fire equipment and protection.
In Union Township, voters are being asked to renew one mill for the purpose of maintenance and operating the cemetery and fire protection.
Quincy Community Schools residents will be voting on an 18-mill operating millage renewal.
Early voting across the state begins Saturday, July 27.
There will be also be plenty for local voters to decide in the November election in Michigan, no statewide referendums will be on the ballot. It is the first election since 2016 where there were no referendums that qualified.
A proposal to eliminate property taxes missed the filing deadline, and a campaign to repeal a new law giving state regulators authority on where to locate wind and solar power projects did not file.
