From the Kokomo Tribune:
The trustees for Liberty, Union and Jackson townships all voiced support for the consolidation of the three townships that could start in 2015.
The Howard County chapter of the League of Women Voters conducted the first of four informational meetings on the ballot referendum to consolidate six townships in the county on Thursday at the Greentown Public Library. About 20 people attended the meeting.
The recommendation by the Howard County Township Trustee’s Association is to consolidate Liberty, Union and Jackson townships into one based on the Eastern school boundaries and Ervin, Clay and Howard townships using the Northwestern school boundaries.
If approved, one trustee will represent the newly-created township and there will be three advisory board members instead of the current nine.
Voters in the six townships will determine if the townships will consolidate Nov. 6.
