Another chance for MikelsMikels Incorporated of Bloomfield still has a chance to retain its franchise with General Motors Inc.
Mikels is one of 1,100 dealers nationwide that were targeted for elimination as General Motors faced bankruptcy and a government bailout. GM announced last week that it would soon notify 661 of those dealers telling them they have the right to continue operating their franchises. Mikels is hopeful that he could receive a letter notifying him that he can remain as a franchise dealer. That notification could come as early as this week. Other top stories:

School board approves Instructional Support LevyThe Davis County School Board Monday night agreed to implement an Instructional Support Levy into its budget for the 2010-2011 school year. The implementation of the new levy is expected to generate $300,000 of revenue for the district that will be available during the next budget year. The board learned the district is looking at a tax levy of $14.22 per $1,000 valuation for the budget. This will be up just 20 cents from last year’s budget and is still lower than the tax rate of $14.25 that was used by the district just three years ago. Board member Allan Johnson was the only member of the board to vote against the implementation of the new levy. Johnson also suggested the district implement a hiring freeze until budget numbers could be finalized. Posted on 09 Mar 2010 by Bdemo
