CLINTON TOWNSHIP — Trustees gave their approval to the 41B District Court’s 2026 budget at the board’s Nov. 17 meeting, but it was not without comment. Represented by Chief Judge Sebastian Lucido, the court will operate with about $4.6 million in revenues and expenses with no change to its $1.15 million fund balance. The board had no initial comments on the budget, but a question from Treasurer Mike Aiello led to discussion on how the court’s debts could be paid off. Aiello brought up the matter of a Clinton Township Police Department traffic division as a way to bring funds in, though implementing such a thing would be easier said than done. “I think what needs to be recognized here (is that) in our heyday with the police department, we had 113 officers; now we’re down to 94,” Trustee Bruce Wade said. “You have to realize that if you were to take some of those 94 off the road and dedicate them to a specialized unit like traffic — being that we’re down 20 people from our heyday — you’re going to really lose response time. The first priority of the Police Department is to respond to emergency calls. A traffic bureau would be nice. It’s a luxury.”
