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.
