Ypsi Twp: Government

A new blog – YTownCan – is keeping tabs on the local government in Ypsilanti Township. One post (titled “Underwater – A Beginning”) describes the disconnect between the elected officials’ stated commitment to being fiscally conservative, and the amount of money the township has spent on lawsuits: “Though perhaps well intended (to save citizens money) it (lawsuits) appears to have cost us money, reputation and resources and is anything, but restrained, cautious…conservative. To me it would be like dancing wildly in really tight jeans – uncomfortable and well, just reckless. What if they rip? Or split? What if they are unwearable?” [Source]
