THE FISH ROTS FROM THE HEAD DOWN

The City of Ypsilanti wants an income tax because they need more money. They threaten to cut services. Why can't the highest property taxes in the state cover services? What they don't tell you is that 1.2 million dollars goes for Water Street bond interest. Yes, that piece of contaminated land with shacks on Michigan Avenue cost 1.2 million in interest alone, purchased by the same people asking for the city income tax. They also spent 1 million dollars on the "historification" of City Hall. Appearances are important. Their appearance -- your money. These people also have a goal to downsize city zoning to reduce population. Reduced population reduce State Aid. Then there are tax abatements: 2 million to Beal Properties, 5-6 million to Penninsular Place, and more to Chidester Apartments. The new assistant city manager is $75,000 plus fringes. No end in sight. The papers don't print this. All you see is how the Blue Ribbon Committee (Farmer's friends) is worried about Ypsilanti's Future. For Ypsilanti to have a future, Vote No! on the City Income Tax and hold these people accountable. Those who are incompetent should be replaced. The City Manager and Farmer's Council blew 20 million dollars on Water Street, then got praise and a raise. This sends the message that Ypsilanti rewards incompetence. The Mayor gave tax abatements to her friends. This message says -- Corruption! Government makes bad decisions, ignores good advice, fire's those who differ. This shows stupidity. They may mean well, but the Citizens of Ypsilanti need people who can get the job done right!

A "VOTE NO" ON INCOME TAX IS A VOTE FOR CHANGE!
SEND THEM A MESSAGE ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6TH AND VOTE NO!
