The question, as printed on the ballot

Shall the County of Newaygo, Michigan, be authorized to levy annually an amount not to exceed 0.0940 mill ($0.0940 per each $1,000 of taxable value), which is a renewal of the millage rate that expires in 2027, against all taxable property within Newaygo County for a period of ten (10) years, 2028 through 2037, inclusive, for the purpose of providing funds for any veterans’ services authorized by law? The estimate of the revenue Newaygo County will collect if the millage is approved and levied in the first year (2028) is approximately $226,000. By law, a portion of the revenue collected may be subject to capture by the Downtown Development Authorities of the Cities of Fremont, Newaygo, and White Cloud; the Local Development Financing Authorities of the Cities of Fremont and Newaygo; and the Newaygo County Brownfield Redevelopment Authority.

A yes vote renews the county's tax of up to 0.094 mill for 10 years (2028-2037) for veterans' services.

A no vote rejects the renewal.
