State Rep. Felicia Brabec (D-Pittsfield) was sworn-in Jan. 13 as representative for the 55th House District, which includes parts of the cities of Ann Arbor and Milan, Augusta, Pittsfield, Ann Arbor and York Townships.
“I am proud to represent the vibrant community of House District 55,” said Rep. Brabec. “As a mental health practitioner, I am acutely aware of the need for better health care for all. I am committed to fighting for better, more accessible health care and a more equitable community for all, including criminal justice reform, better education opportunities and environmental protections.”
Brabec is a clinical psychologist and was the longest-serving member on the Washtenaw County Board of Commissioners for eight years.
Members of the Michigan Progressive Women’s Caucus announced their leadership team for the 101st Legislature, filling positions for the 2021-2022 term. Brabec was named treasurer.

Did they announce if they’re doing the 1 mile run down Michigan avenue?
If this mileage passes, has the City of Saline, for example, committed to reduce their millage by 2.0 that they no longer
need to send to the Fire Department?
It should be stated that this mileage is going to raise the taxes for many homes by $800 per year (based on a $250K SEV). There has been no commitment that the 2.0 mil that currently exists will be replaced even though it is alluded to. That is a huge increase.
The Fire Dept. likely does have unmet needs. We have been in meetings where the Fire Chief has spoken and our impression has been that he is not fully transparent, massaging information to present a case to achieve what he wants rather than solidly and transparently defining reality and options.
