🚔 PRAIRIEVILLE TWP RESIDENTS – YOUR VOICE IS NEEDED 🚔

📅 Meeting Date: Wednesday, June 17th 2026
⏰ Time: 6:30pm
📍 Location: Prairieville Twp Hall, 10115 S. Norris Rd, Delton MI 49046

I am asking concerned Prairieville Township residents to attend the upcoming Township Board meeting and support my request to hire an additional full-time police officer, funded through the Township's existing General Fund.

This request is not about raising taxes or increasing a millage. The funding would come from the Township's existing General Fund, which is made up of taxpayer dollars already collected. As residents and taxpayers, you have a right to be informed and to express your opinion on how those funds are used.

The primary goal of adding another full-time officer is simple: to increase police coverage and eliminate periods when no officer is available to respond within the township. Every resident deserves the peace of mind that comes with knowing a police officer is available when they need help. By adding an additional officer, we can move closer to our long-term goal of providing around-the-clock police coverage, improving response times, increasing proactive patrols, and strengthening our ability to prevent crime before it occurs.

Our officers work hard every day to serve this community, but there are still times when there is no coverage due to current staffing levels. An additional full-time officer would help ensure better protection for our neighborhoods, businesses, schools, and roadways while providing Prairieville Township residents with the level of service they deserve.

This decision affects every resident in our township. The Township Board needs to hear from the people they represent. Whether you support this proposal, have concerns, or want more information, I encourage you to attend the meeting and make your voice heard.

Public safety is one of the most important services local governments can provide to their residents. If you believe this should be accomplished by using existing township funds rather than increasing taxes, please attend the meeting and let your voice be heard.

Together, we can continue building a safer Prairieville Township for our families, neighbors, businesses, and future generations.

Your attendance at this meeting can make a difference.

The Prairieville Township would like to pay our sincerest respects and honor the noble sacrifice of our brave veterans. Happy Memorial Day 🇺🇸

🚨 BREAKING: Michigan wildlife officials are warning residents about a growing invasive animal problem spreading through parts of the state… and no, it’s not coyotes, wolves, or another goose with anger issues. 🐗🌲❄️

Wild feral hog sightings are becoming a serious concern across rural Michigan, especially near farmland, swampy woods, creek bottoms, and isolated backroads where these animals can move quietly for miles before anyone realizes they’re there. 😳

And these things are NOT just “big pigs.”

We’re talking: • 300+ pound wild hogs
• sharp tusks
• terrifying speed for something built like a refrigerator
• aggressive behavior when cornered
• and enough strength to destroy entire sections of farmland overnight. 💀

Michigan wildlife experts say the damage happens FAST.

Cornfields ripped apart. Mud everywhere. Wetlands destroyed. Food plots flattened. And snowy fields suddenly looking like somebody drove a rototiller through them at 3 AM. 😭

Meanwhile locals are reporting: • giant tracks crossing snowy trails
• strange noises moving through tree lines after dark
• and trail cameras capturing massive hogs wandering through Michigan woods like they own the place. 🐗🌲

And somewhere in rural Michigan right now: • a deer feeder just got obliterated overnight
• somebody walked outside expecting whitetails and instead saw a furry bulldozer with tusks
• and one hunter is standing in the snow whispering: “That definitely ain’t a deer.” 💀

The scariest part?

These animals reproduce FAST.

A small population can explode before officials even know how many are out there, which is why Michigan wildlife agencies are pushing residents to report sightings immediately before populations spread further across the state.

Officials continue warning residents: • do NOT approach them
• do NOT feed them
• and absolutely do NOT underestimate how dangerous they can be.

Because Michigan’s woods were built for deer, turkey, black bears, and quiet snowy trails…

not armored lawnmowers with tusks sprinting through the forest at 30 mph. 🐗❄️🌲💀
