[WORKSNTV at aol.com]

Washtenaw County's fire and police chiefs are  asking that a millage be put 
on the ballot in November to help pay for a new  $29.8 million emergency radio 
system to replace a mismatch of systems that is  putting the public as well as 
public safety officers at risk because of  incompatibility. 
During a presentation Thursday to the Washtenaw Metro  Alliance, Ann Arbor 
Police Chief Dan Oates said one option would be a  one-half-mill, four-year 
property tax levy. He said that would raise about $30  million and cost $62.50 a 
year for someone who owned a $250,000  home.
