GET ME REWRITE: Homophobic voters in Michigan town give master class in how to cut off your nose to spite your face

 

Headline: Detroit Pree Press, 11/10/2022

A tax levy to fund the Patmos Library for the next 10 years failed in Jamestown Charter Township's August primary, meaning it lost 84% of its funding for operations. 

The measure appeared on Tuesday's midterms ballot again in hopes that, with more residents aware of the issue, it would pass. It failed, again. Just 5,500 residents out of around 10,000 in the township just southwest of Grand Rapids voted on the millage, and 55.8% voted "no." Without taxpayer funds, the library will close. Exactly when that will happen is not yet known.

It will come as no surprise that Ottawa County, where Jamestown Charter Township is located, voter overwhelmingly for the crackpot, Trump-endorsed GOP candidate for governor Tudor Dixon.  65.1%.  Gretchen won the election with 54.6 % of the vote.
