2025 BUDGET -

A recent Herald Palladium article incorrectly reads that the St. Joseph Charter Township overall fund balance at the end of 2025 would be reduced to $16,070.166. The H.P.'s misplacement of a period where a comma should be inferred that the Township’s fund balance will only be a little over sixteen thousand dollars when it should have read sixteen million, seventy thousand, one hundred sixty-six dollars. The Board of Trustees diligently works to carefully manage Township funds. The Township's funds are, and will continue to be, very financially strong.
