Local, local, local! That is the theme of the issues on the ballot today and here is what you will be voting for or against:
In Kent County there is a transit millage that would increase your taxes to help revamp The Rapid bus system.
There are also two seats up for grabs on the Grand Rapids Board of Education. Eight candidates are vying for the four-year term.
It's time to vote again.
Tuesday's ballots include school board elections, school millage proposals (including Cedar Springs and Wyoming), a millage proposal for "The Rapid", and more.
Educate yourself on the candidates and proposals, then get out and vote!
A week from today, voters in several cities across West Michigan will vote on a bus millage that is intended to increase service to residents over the next five years.
In a time when salaries are shrinking and the unemployment rate looms around 5-6% ... are you more prone to vote for a millage that would increase your tax base or will you vote no with a suggestion that those who use the bus, simply pay a higher fee per ride?
