Macomb County voters overwhelmingly approved a six-year renewal of the county veterans' millage Tuesday, passing the tax of 0.04 mills with 80.8 percent of the vote.
This millage was first approved by Macomb County voters in 2008 and, with the renewal starting in 2013, will be levied until 2018.
Expected to raise approximately $984,560 in its first year of renewal, this tax will fund financial aid and services for county veterans and provide support for the Macomb County Veterans’ Services Department and Veterans’ Affairs Commission.
