911 board votes to consolidate dispatch

The Calhoun County E-911 committee voted today to pursue an effort to collect .60-cents for every telephone, cell phone and voice over internet to pay for a county-wide consolidated dispatch center, according to committee member Bill Hankinson. The matter will have to be approved by local jurisdictions and the Michigan Public Service Commission before implementation. The measure is allowed under current legislation that expires in one year. Watch for more information on this developing story.

That is a pretty hefty amount that is being proposed and a lot of citizens may take issue with this.

hefty amount??? do you live in Marshall???

Want to talk about hefty amounts, buy a house and look at the property taxes. That is a hefty amount.

We can WASTE MILLIONS on the school to build a nice house next to the tennis court, and add more courts, but 60 CENTS will break my budget...

I have a MAP for you... go to I-94 and LEAVE TOWN...
