Results are in. Across Houghton County and Ontonagon County close to 2,000 people participated in the consolidated election.
In Ontonagon County voters passed the Ewen Trout Creek School District operating millage for another 10 years. That millage will raise over 1,000,000 annually to support education in the district.
Houghton Portage Township Schools voters also passed the district’s non-homestead operating millage. That measure will collect taxes on businesses and non-primary residences within the school district. Hancock Public Schools sought a 13-million-dollar referendum bond to support critical repairs and projects around the school’s campus. Voters did approve the referendum and will extend the existing bond millage rate taxpayers have been paying. That election was passed with 651 ballots cast in support.
In the city of Houghton, residents approved four charter amendments that will update the language, create conflict-of-interest ordinance, and shorten the time the council will have to make appointments.
And Copper City will continue to have a fire protection service provided by Ahmeek fire department after passing the millage renewal 23 to 2.
