The Lansing School District is looking towards the Nov. 3 election to have voters give their approval to a 1.5 mill increase in their property taxes. The 5-year extra millage would produce $20 million and would be used to pay for maintenance projects on district buildings.
And, according to the Lansing State Journal, a majority of voters would approve it if placed on the ballot.
Voters interest and approval for the millage was discovered through a $20,000 poll the school district paid for to measure voter sentiment.
How do you feel about the increase? Do you have any questions of school leaders? Would you vote yes or no or are you undecided?

I believe that education is the only way to keep our children prepared for the future they face. It needs to start early, it needs to be in a safe place and it needs to continue for the whole time they should be in school. To me that should be through college for those who are capable to do so. So, I support the increase in the school millage. I am “elderly” and have no children but the children of the world will have to take over where I left off. Even take care of me eventually and I want them prepared to do so.
