Look around Saline, people can barely afford to maintain their homes. Every dollar the government takes is one less dollar needed to spend on the upkeep of our homes and properties. Washtenaw County has the highest taxes in all of Michigan. It’s becoming unbearable for many here.
This is a very unfocused op-ed - really, just a hodgepodge of loosely connected pejorative statements. Personally, I prefer the news to objectively report the facts, I can reach my own conclusions on local issues without being spoon fed someone else's opinions.
