Graham Renewal Levy on May 4 Ballot
On Tuesday, May 4, Graham voters will have the opportunity to renew the millage for the school district's 1.0-mil permanent improvement levy. The levy has been in effect since 1985, and renewing the levy will not change taxes. In its current form, the levy generates about $104,000 per year. For the owner of a $100,000 house, the cost is about $17 a year, or less than $1.50 per month.
