- A forum participant repeated a rumor about township tax increases on rental homes; another participant stated that neither township board had a motion or resolution on the idea and that any future discussion should be evaluated through the Master Plan and public hearings. This is evidence of public concern and a contemporaneous correction, not evidence that a tax proposal existed or was adopted.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 17 · t017633
