Lakewood Fire Budget Defeated

Around 400 people voted today in the Lakewood Fire Elections, the two commissioners ran unopposed.  The fire Budget asking for $1.3 million tax increase was voted down by the taxpayers  224-176.

When a budget is defeated State law requires the municipal government  to hold a public hearing on the budget and either approve it or cut the budget.  Last year the Lakewood township made a small reduction of $10,000 and passed the budget after taxpayers voted against it.
