AFL-CIO supports museum millage renewal
The Monroe News
The Monroe/Lenawee County American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) Central Labor Council endorses the Monroe County Museum System’s millage on the May 4th, 2021 ballot.
The AFL-CIO has always valued education for not only children but learners of all ages. Cultural institutions such as the Monroe County Historical Museum System (MCMS) are important and foundational in a community, especially ones with such a long and deep heritage as this region. The museum is seeking to renew its current one-tenth of a mill levy for 10 years, along with a request to increase the millage by .05 to .15.
