Unofficial results: Voters approve 1-mill tax increase for tech, security upgrades at Muskegon County schools

It seems we deserve what we get.
But our county has 170,000 residents, 128,000 registered voters and, yet, less than 6300 voters can impose a $100/yr tax on the rest of us.
There something wrong when less than 4% of voters can forcibly take money from the producers, homeowners, renters, businesses and other municipal organizations. And "give" it to the takers.
