Summary
The April 2010 Beacon reported that both Beaver Island townships held annual meetings near the end of March to review budgets beginning April 1. Peaine residents questioned the late release and complexity of its budget; St. James residents discussed fund balances, tax collections, and whether the budget would show a shortfall. A contemporaneous forum notice identifies Peaine’s three-part schedule and the additional administrative items on the special board agenda.
Evidence limits
The newspaper and forum record public notices and discussion, not the complete adopted budgets, township accounting records, or proof that every agenda item was approved.
