Commissioners believe townships will be increasing their mills to cover their cost share with the county. Townships not aware of how finances work. Clerks are the only ones that know. All the townships are aware that county will be charging them for blading. Write a letter to township of they recommend the county should charge them for blading and Commissioners will review and decide from there. Townships should know before their annual meeting.
