Both tax issues help fund the department s $815,000 annual budget.
Stewart said if the two tax issues are not renewed it will be a loss of $370,000. That will definitely change our operations, he said.
The issues were the only ones on Tuesday s special election ballot in Stark County.
Asked why the voters rejected the tax issues, Stewart said he believes voters remain upset with township officials for not renewing a contract with North Lawrence Volunteer Fire Department. We tried to renew the contract. We couldn t come to terms, Stewart said.
