Voters across St. Clair County townships will decide August fourth on several tax proposals aimed at keeping police and fire services running. Communities like Brockway, Emmett, and Kenockee are asking to renew or slightly increase millages to maintain equipment, upgrade fire halls, and replace aging trucks. Fort Gratiot and Grant townships are also seeking long-term funding for costly emergency gear. Meanwhile, Ira Township is proposing a new tax to strengthen police coverage after a similar plan failed last year. Officials say the funding is critical to maintaining reliable emergency response.
