Summary

On August 7–8, 2017, forum notices urged Peaine Township voters to support a dedicated EMS millage, advertised free rides to the polls, and later reported that the millage passed.

Evidence limits

The campaign and transportation notices are not official election records. The later passage report is community testimony rather than a certified canvass; the archive does not establish the exact ballot language, vote totals, certification, or subsequent EMS funding.

Sources

  1. The notice described the August 8 Peaine ballot as including airport and road-funding renewals and an EMS millage, and argued that the EMS proposal would separate EMS funding from the general fund without increasing taxes. It is a campaign/community explanation; the official ballot language, tax analysis, and outcome require governmental records.

  2. The township directed voters to its website for the August 8 ballot-proposal information. The forum post confirms the official-information referral but does not preserve the linked PDF locally.
