Ypsi: Financial Plan

Writing for the Eastern Echo, Margaret Leary reports on the Ypsilanti city council’s plans to put a city income tax proposal and a Water Street debt millage on the May 2012 ballot – both measures would require voter approval: ”Council Member Michael Bodary pointed out the council is united in realizing that without the tax and millage, Ypsilanti would be faced with having an emergency financial manager, with authority removed from elected officials.” The report of the council’s Jan. 10 meeting also covers several recreational issues – including approval of a letter of intent related to a county parks & rec center – and postponement of a four-party agreement for countywide transit. [Source]
