St. Clair County voters will decide several local tax proposals on the November ballot, with money for safer roads and emergency response at stake. In Burtchville Township, a 1-mill road renewal would raise an estimated $195,656.58 in its first year and run through 2036. Capac voters would decide a 2-mill, 4-year road and bridge tax, while Marine City would consider 2.5 mills for 3 years to support fire protection, equipment, and emergency services. Officials say the measures would fund repairs and public safety where residents live.
