The parades. The flags. The proud men in uniform carrying their weapons like trophies. There will be cookouts and sales. Eat. Buy. Talk of sports, kids and the weather. Nothing serious. Don’t spoil the day. Don’t upset anyone.
I’m shocked to learn that Domino’s Board of Directors recommended its shareholders vote against a request that would help the pizza chain stay in step with other major food franchises like McDonald’s, Wendy’s, and Burger King - all of which are moving away from cruel confinement practices.
Your time to run for office is now. Please answer this open call to public service. Democrats and Republicans have made a real mess in Lansing. In 2010, over 57 percent of eligible voters in Michigan did not cast a ballot. Every teacher, firefighter, trash collector and program manager who ...
I moved to Ypsilanti in 2008. I moved here because it has something I could not find just anywhere - historic homes, in good condition, which are affordable. It has houses that are comparable to the most sought after neighborhoods in Ann Arbor at a fraction of the price. In ...
As much as I love politics, it’s not what comes naturally to me. What I am truly good at is science and math. I am an engineer at heart and by training. I write software for a living. I spend my time following complex and intricate logic until I lose ...
Stop City Council’s tax grab! The poor financial condition of the City of Ypsilanti was largely caused by the people who now want to raise our taxes. They want city residents to vote in favor of a city income tax and an uncapped Water Street debt retirement millage, on Tuesday, ...
Well, the once a week, hour-long, off-leash dog gathering at Slauson Middle School is now officially dead. Last Saturday (April 28), the Ann Arbor Police politely warned the participants that this would no longer be tolerated due to a complaint by the principal of Slauson that was no doubt prompted ...
What is the obsession with bike paths? Do all City Council members aspire to be Denver or Seattle? Seriously, the main arteries (Packard, Huron, Washtenaw) need to be widened, not reduced.
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?
I disagree with Judge Shelton's comment, "These situations are awful legal and human conundrums." (“Torn Apart: Undocumented immigrants losing fight to keep children who are U.S. citizens,” Sunday, April 15, AnnArbor.com)
I read Tom Watkins’ opinion in Ann Arbor.com where he discussed the differences between women who have children and work outside of the home and those who have children and do not work outside the home.
In May, the City of Ypsilanti is putting on the ballot two tax increase/millage proposals. This is due to mismanagement/bad decisions of funds by elected politicians.
Kim Bayer’s recent article “Ann Arbor area events encourage participation in changing 'food culture'” addresses the growing disconnect between people and food. Whereas food culture used to be at the center of existence, we now find ourselves consuming food without knowing what is in it or where it comes from. ...
Michigan Senate Bills 414 and 415, which will improve private insurance coverage for autism spectrum disorders, will only be helping a small sector of residents. A broader mental health parity law will finally end health care discrimination against all mental health disorders. Expanding these bills to cover all mental health ...
The March 1, 2012, meeting of the Manchester Township Planning Commission was little more than a travesty of justice for the Residents of Manchester Township. I am referring to the conditional use permit approved by the commission that would allow a reception facility for 250 guests to be located on ...
