MSU Extension director thanks Alger County for ballot language, outlines 4‑H reach ahead of Aug. 4 renewal
Summary
Erin Daines of MSU Extension thanked the board for approving ballot language for an extension millage renewal on Aug. 4, described 4‑H programming reaching roughly 471 children across three counties and handed out voter education fact sheets (staff emphasized they cannot advise how to vote).
Erin Daines, MSU Extension district director, told the Alger County Committee of the Whole on July 13 that the extension is asking voters to renew a longstanding millage appearing on the Aug. 4 ballot and thanked the board for approving ballot language. “I am Erin Daines, MSU Extension District Director,” she said and offered fact sheets for the board. Daines emphasized the extension’s role as an education resource and noted staff may educate on the election but not advise residents how to vote.
Daines described the millage as a renewal that supports 4‑H programming across three counties in her district, telling the board that about 471 youth participated across those counties and that the program works closely with local partners such as the DNR and Little League‑style 4‑H leagues. Board members asked whether Little League playoffs or background checks differed; Daines noted coaches complete multiple MSU 4‑H modules and background checks. She encouraged members to be “friends of extension” and offered to answer questions and distribute fact sheets to local officials.
