Voters in Spring Lake stopped an effort to disincorporate the village in its tracks in Tuesday’s election.
The Spring Lake village manager told 24 Hour News 8 that 556 voters — 63 percent — said no to the disincorporation measure on the ballot, while 325 said yes
.The proposal would have allowed the village to start collecting signatures to get disincorporation on the November ballot. Proponents said it would lower taxes, while opponents argued people in the village don’t mind paying higher taxes because they get more services.
