Pittsfield Township is asking voters to increase the public safety millage from 1.95 to 3.95 mills during the May 4 special election.
According to township officials, if the millage fails, the township will require reductions in police and fire services, community development and the sustainability effort.
The last day to register to vote is April 19, unless you plan to vote at the polls, which means you can register at your polling place with proof of residency.
A ballot dropbox has been installed at the curb near the front entrance of the Pittsfield Township Administration Building, 6201 W. Michigan Ave., and is available 24 hours a day.
Ballots for the May 4, 2021 Special Election may be:
The Clerk's office will be open on Saturday, May 1, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. to issue absent voter ballots in person. Absent Voter Ballots will continue to be available at the Clerk’s office through Monday May 3, at 4 p.m.
Completed absent voter ballots can be dropped off at the Clerk’s office during business hours, or placed in the drop box at the Administration Building. All ballots must be in the Clerk’s office before 8 p.m. on Election Day to be processed by the Absent Voter Counting Board.
Appreciate the interest in serving Saline. At this point, looks as though he will win by acclimation. Wonder what would happen if there were more candidates than spots. Without understanding why, it would be difficult to support a candidate who withdrew their interest then popped back in last minute.
As you can see by the picture, Bret is active in the city events and gives countless hours to his community.
Sunny, with a high of 84 and low of 53 degrees. Sunny during the morning, clear overnight.
Apparently no one can work with the current mayor?
We see that a little differently. Plenty of folks who are working just fine with the current Mayor. Unfortunately, there are others who are small in number yet loud and vocal who seem to delight in spreading unfounded and ridiculous allegations and rumors, and not just regarding the Mayor.
Nice of the attorneys to clarify this language at this point rather than having the foresight to understand that language should never have been in the agreement to start with!
Perhaps the Township should have sought counsel from an attorney not involved in the original contract negotiations (and perhaps they did - do not know) before changing direction.
Final thought - perhaps the attorney(s) working with the Township on the agreement can provide an explanation as to why that language HAD to be as represented in the final version of the agreement/why protections against exactly what has happened were not put in place.
I’m curious as to why Mr. Marl has announced his reelection intentions, started campaigning and collecting funds, but has not done the paperwork to put his name on the ballot yet?
Marl says he's got his signatures.
Citizens of Saline are finally waking up to all the failures of our current city government. Girbach is bailing (for good reason).
