OPINION: How attractive will Ypsilanti be to businesses if vital services are reduced?

Posted on Sun, Apr 22, 2012 : 8:42 a.m.

Some people argue that if Ypsilanti’s proposed new taxes are passed, businesses will leave town and new businesses won’t locate here. What do those people think will happen if the proposed taxes are not passed?

If police and fire protection is severely reduced, if street lights are turned off and streets not repaired, if essential public services are eliminated? How attractive to business will Ypsilanti be then? Will businesses stay here then? Will new businesses come here then? Think about it. Jane Schmiedeke
