Support the museum millage
This letter is to urge the people of Monroe County to vote yes for the upcoming museum millage proposal on May 4.
The video “Save our Stories” on the www.monroe-stories .org is an excellent display of why this is such an important issue for all of Monroe County. The millage represents over 95% of the operating budget for the Monroe County Museum System (MCMS). This supports not only the museum but also the Monroe County Archives, Territorial Park, St. Antoine’s Historic Site and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial & Museum.
This renewal has been in place for the past 10 years and will be an increase of about $5 a year for a total of $15 annually as an estimate of a home valued at $200,000.
