Summary

The November Beaver Beacon reported that Beaver Island voters rejected the Charlevoix County 911 millage proposal even though it passed county-wide. The article said the enhanced central dispatch system would include the Island.

Evidence limits

This is a newspaper account of a proposal vote and implementation explanation, not the certified canvass, millage instrument, or dispatch deployment record.
