Richmond Township mulls
new road millage
REED CITY — Richmond
Township’s four-year millage for
road improvements expired at
the end of 2017, and officials are
wondering if another one may be
needed.
After most road projects have
been completed, township offi-
cials are working with the coun-
ty road commission to check if
local roads require additional
work.
Most of the work from the pre-
vious millage, passed in 2014, has
been completed, but the town-
ship is assessing is to see if more
work needs to be done, officials
said.

By Alexander Sinn
Weekly Voice
Schools have been the center
of public debate recently, and
not because of funding or test
scores.
People want to know if their
schools are safe.
A mass shooting at a high
school in Parkland, Florida, on
Feb. 14, left 17 dead and sparked

control.

break next week, students at
Marjory Stoneman Douglas
High School, where the shoot-
ing occurred, will be required
to carry only clear backpacks,
and all students and staff will
be required to wear IDs while
on campus.

these measures, but all schools
have plans and training in place
