The results from the last elections showed that the citizens of AuTrain were not ready to
pay more taxes . The proposal for a NEW millage for general funds was soundly turned down. At the November Township Board meeting Treasurer Ann Clapp brought a survey of several townships, of which all but one were from the lower peninsula. The survey contained information about how much township officials were being payed. It was clear to me that this information was part of a movement by board members to initiate a raise in salary had the proposal for more taxes passed. Mary Rogers entertained the notion of giving the board members health insurance and retirement benefits . It is interesting how greed can manifest into over consumption.
