Clinton County election results: Bath Township millage proposal fails

Three months after voters rejected a millage proposal, Bath Township residents pushed back on a smaller tax hike, according to unofficial election results. Voters in August rejected a proposal by more than 600 votes to raise the township’s operating millage by 1.46 mills, which would have restored millage lost due to the Headlee Amendment, which limits property tax growth, and allowed the township to levy a full 5 mills for general operations. The proposal would have raised $893,000 annually. Township officials went back to voters with a smaller 1 mill proposal, which would have allowed the township to levy about 4.548 mills for operations, and raise an additional $609,500 per year. Voters rejected that idea too, with 3,616 no votes and 2,384 yes votes. The township, which has a population of about 13,500, has an annual budget of about $4.5 million, Township Supervisor Ryan Fewins-Bliss said. Last month Fewins-Bliss said the township has never asked for a millage to restore funds lost to Headlee. He said August's millage failure made it clear voters thought that proposal was too much. "We heard from the residents that was maybe too much of an ask," Fewins-Bliss said in October. The millage proposal would

A Walk in the Park: Delta Twp. celebrates new bridge, park connector path

A Walk in the Park is an ongoing series from State Journal photographer Nick King, who intends to explore Lansing area parks one hour at a time. If you have a suggestion of a park he should visit, email him at nking@lsj.com. Township officials and community members cut ribbons on Oct. 30 marking the opening of the Webster Road bridge and connector pathway, which links Delta Mills and Hawk Meadow parks. Nate Simon, a resident who lives near Delta Mills Park and attended the event with his 8-year-old son Lincoln, sees the improvements as a positive improvement. "I'm a fan. It's safer for kids crossing over to the park," said Simon, who said he appreciated the cement border along the bridge sidewalk that adds protection for pedestrians. "It's nice connecting all the trails. We have dogs and we go for a walk just about every day." Delta Township Trustee Andrea Cascarilla spoke during the event. "It represents something much bigger. The dedication to a connected recreation system brings our community together," said Cascarilla, before cutting the ribbon marking the opening to the connector pathway. Guests walked, biked and ran along the .83-mile long connector pathway, stopping to enjoy cider and
