Benzie's millage vote, solar power in Wexford Co., and the nuances of wildfire danger

It's a regional roundup today on the Up North Lowdown.

We'll hear about a crucial millage vote in Benzie County, where officials are trying to arrest four decades of diminishing revenue.

In Wexford County, a proposed solar array has raised some concern among residents.

And with wildfire danger at elevated levels, we talk with the National Weather Service about how to tell when we're out of the woods.

Reporting for this episode was by Vivian La, Maxwell Howard and WCMU's Emma George-Griffin. Red Pine Radio's Jane Becker contributed a report, too!
