The Detroit Vote For County, etc.

Maurice Brunson and Dion Williams are on my ballot as candidates for Wayne County Delegate.
I can find no information on either of them. Shouldn't they be getting in touch? Is District 7 to big
to access? I never used to think of it in that way.
We also have some awful ideas floated in this election.
At least one woman candidate wants to advance the privatization of schools.
Another woman on our ballots is a right-to-life advocate.
To me, these are awful things to advance.
We don't have any trouble getting abortions in Detroit, thank heavens, but it's costly.
I don't look forward to that changing in any way. Our citizens have enough life challenges. When
in need of constitutionally protected rights, they don't need the burdens of looking for a safe place
to get treatment, or searching for places far from where they live.
Burdening them thus would be positively barbarous.
Finding a school that is a Detroit Public school has always been imperative to our family.
We used to be able to access the schools without trouble. Now we have the nightmare of having to
search and be certain because once a child enrolls in on of Governor Snyder's grotesque school
programs, it's nearly impossible to get that youngster unenrolled. The whole process is a disgusting
trap. We have been lucky enough to avoid it so far. I wish us luck, We have to get through high school now.
We are asked to vote for the libraries, which I don't resent as much as I resent the mammoth museum.
Museums are often treasuries of stolen foreign treasure. And in Detroit the square footage of the
great place which welcomes the Detroit public compared to the entire square footage of the place is
a really big fat joke. Always has been.
The state wants us to vote to end the yearly taxes businesses pay on equipment. Such a dumb idea.
Businesses here have enough breaks now. They even get bailed out.
And we are to vote for millage to benefit the Wayne County School District. Another big fat joke.
Detroiters have never turned down a school millage for our city schools. What good has that done for
us now? Does the Governor respect that? No. And has the county school district ever reached out to
us in any meaningful way?
No. No it has not.
