The Ontonagon Village Council will meet via tele-conference tonight. The question remains whether issues addressing the council, village residents, and village businesses will be resolved.
The issue that has been in front of the council for over 2 years has been the village’s financial problems. One problem that village manager and council members have had to deal with is the village’s obligation to the Municipal Employees Retirement System (MERS).
The MERS obligation has been reported to be in the $1 million range. It stems from the village selling its hospital to Aspirus. However in the sale, the village remained responsible for past and current employees.
