Rural Fire group needs another millage

Seems a mistake was made and now they need to put another millage on the Nov. ballot. The new millage we passed was to be collected in FY2017, not disbursed in 2017. That would leave them with a full year of no income. Anyone have any other details?

I haven't heard anything but then I don't read the LDN or listen to local radio. I don't understand what the mistake was. If the new millage was passed can't they just bank it and use it when needed?

Here's how the measure looks on the proposed November ballot, it seems as if they missed levying/collecting the 2016 millage in the August measure which was approved by a large majority. A simple mistake, but what do you expect, they're rural firefighters not tax accountants or attorneys. I was actually wondering about this deficiency when they submitted the original ballot question.
