ONTONAGON The Ontonagon Village Council voted to raise property taxes on the economically depressed community. However, that was not the issue that forced the council to hold a special meeting Wednesday afternoon. To accommodate the expected turnout of concerned residents, the council met at the Ontonagon Village Fire Hall.Â
The meeting was to decide whether to retain Village Manager Joe Erickson, or to terminate his employment.
