4 Butler County fire levies win voter approval

Voters approved fire levies in the village of Millville, as well as in St. Clair Twp., where two passed, and Wayne Twp., according to unofficial final results from the Butler County Board of Elections.

Very early in the evening, Millville’s levy was behind, but only by two votes, 20-18. But when all votes were tallied, Millville’s levy was approved 55.9 percent to 44.1 percent, yet still a slim margin of 127 votes for to 100 against, according to the Butler County Board of Elections.

The village of Millville sought an additional five-year, 2.75-mill fire levy.

Both of St. Clair Twp.’s requested levies won easily, one by 67.4 percent, the other by 69.3 percent. One is a 5-year, 0.75-mill fire levy renewal. The other is a 5-year, 0.5-mill emergency medical technician levy renewal.

Wayne Twp.’s proposed additional 3-mill continuing fire levy won by a margin of 58.9 percent to 41.1 percent.
