Tax hike fails in Troy, police cuts expected
TROY (AP) -- Troy officials say the city will close its library, nature center, community center and museum and lay off 47 police officers after voters rejected a tax hike.
A five-year, 1.9-mill tax increase year failed Tuesday in the city about 15 miles north of Detroit by 12,631-7,316 margin.
Voters in nearby Bloomfield Township approved a 10-year, 1.3-mill public safety millage by a 53 percent to 47 percent margin.
Voters in the Chippewa Valley School District approved an $89 million bond 5,886 to 4,150, while Berkley residents rejected a $168 million school bond.
