Issue 10 is a 0.9 RENEWAL, NOT A NEW TAX

The Lake County Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services (ADAMHS) Board levy is Issue 10. Please VOTE FOR it on November 5, 2024. Issue 10 is a RENEWAL levy that funds essential mental health and addiction recovery services, it is the same levy and amount approved by voters since 1976. 

Issue 10 is NOT A NEW TAX. There has been NO INCREASE in millage since voters first approved it in 1976.

SIGNIFICANCE: More than 56% OF THE BUDGET comes from local support like Issue 10. It funds prevention education efforts, treatment and support services for seniors, and families struggling with mental illness and substance use disorders.
