Summary
A signed August 1995 letter compares reported St. James and Peaine township millage, property values, revenues, administrative costs, and distinctive island services. It asks whether the tax rates serve Beaver Island’s long-term interests and whether taxpayers receive commensurate value.
Evidence limits
This is a published argument and comparison supplied by the signatories, not an audited budget analysis, certified tax record, or adopted township policy.
