6:30 p.m.: On the ballot in East Lansing is a new parks millage. The East Lansing Parks Millage comes after the city faces a significant budget deficit.

If approved, it would add:

  • 2.0 mills, an average household increase of about $19 per month, or nearly $230 annually.

The city says if the millage doesn’t pass, parks could see reduced hours, limited programs, or reduced staff.
