Eaton County Officers address Tax Millage on the May ballot

Back in November, the tax vote failed, causing cuts for deputies' patrol from 6 a.m. to midnight. County officials had said that more money coming in is critically needed.

The November public safety millage asked neighbors for 3 mills, which means 18 dollars a month for taxpayers who have had to pay.

Now, county officials are asking for 2 mills, which will equal 12 dollars a month for taxpayers if it passes.
