Our first mailings have been out. We've received good support from many residents, including those who aren't tied to Cunningham Lake Road. This is a major tax increase as well, and the money is not going to fix the roads.
- A $200,000 valued home will pay $3000 in taxes with this 15 year millage.
- $16 Million of the 22-23 Million goes to widening and paving rural country roads instead of fixing new roads.
- Most of the main roads aren't going to be fixed from this millage. Brighton Rd, Grand River, Chilson, Door, most of Challis (outside of roundabout and the dirt area), the main portion of Bauer towards the ski area, Coon Lake. Those roads aren't covered by this millage.
We are gaining momentum, but we are not done yet. We still need donations as campaigns are not cheap. Every little bit helps. Our biggest cost is postage for direct mail as there are no salaries or consulting fees (pro bono). $100 covers three rolls of postcard stamps. That contacts 300 households and hopefully helps get them to the polls. A high turnout helps us.
Thank you all and please Vote No on November 5th, 2013 (or by absentee)
