I’m inside the Eaton Rapids library following up on another millage that failed.
If it sounds like a familiar story from the last election,you’re completely right. Eaton Rapids Library had a bond proposal on the ballot. The proposal would have paid for building improvements.
The majority of neighbors voted against the bond, and it failed. Here in my neighborhood, it’s not the only request for more money that failed on the November 5 ballot.
I covered the countywide tax request here in Eaton County for months, which also failed and led to Sheriff’s road patrol cuts.
But here in the Eaton Rapids Area District Library, Director Bryonna Barton says she still hopes to find ways to pay for some repairs.
