Summary
Peaine Township advanced two road-millage proposals for the August 4, 2026 election: renewal of up to one mill for 2026–2028 and a separate additional up-to-one-mill proposal, potentially bringing the total to two mills. Draft township minutes record unanimous ballot-language resolutions in May. A supervisor’s August 2 forum explanation said the requests addressed township- maintained roads and distinguished voter authorization from the amount actually levied.
Evidence limits
The draft minutes are the strongest held evidence for the board’s formal action; the supervisor’s forum post is a first-party public explanation and advocacy document. Neither source establishes the August 4 vote result, a subsequent levy, actual revenue, or road-project spending. The supervisor’s mileage, shortfall and revenue figures are preserved as attributed township claims, not independent audit findings.
