More than 69 percent of the voters supported the proposal. When first levied in 2027, the millage will raise an estimated $5,686,000.
Overcast, with a high of 87 and low of 60 degrees. Overcast in the morning, sunny for the afternoon, overcast overnight.
Sure. We believe they won't use it for the mini data centers required to support the monstrosity down the road. Likely about as much truth to that as the estimates for the large data center tax abatement basis which sored to ten fold forecasted amount.
There is no record of sale with the Washtenaw County clerks office. I have also reached out to rustic Glenn‘s owners and related digital for the past three weeks asking for confirmation of the sale and no one has responded to my request. Has the sale actually occurred?
I will never again golf at Rustic Glen. Shame on the owners of Rustic Glen and the Feldcamp family who sold out their community for the money!
Finding people willing to work elections has always been a challenge. All the more so in the current environment. Election workers are paid $18 an hour by the state so we certainly are not looking at gross enrichment here and it is typically one or two days a year. Want to draft a policy? Sure, that can be done.
what's unfounded?
You can argue that it's not important, or that it's worth it.
But it's not unfounded.
One can raise an observation about a topic without disparaging comments attached to it. The implication that the Clerk has done something improper is ludicrous, unfounded, and damaging to the cohesiveness of the community. It is also pure Girbach. And, financial benefit to the family member? Please.
Monster truck tickets for $88/each!? Jeez. I remember my dad taking my sister and to see them at Pontiac Silverdome in the 1980’s. I was going to go see them at this show…not anymore, guess I’ll go on living with the memories with dad and sis. They’re good memories.
