Voters in some areas of Washtenaw County will head to the polls on Tuesday to vote on proposals to set new taxes.

Facing voters in the Ann Arbor Public Schools is a $45,855,000 technology bond.

Voters in Ypsilanti face two decisions: Whether to approve a millage to retire the Water Street debt and whether to levy a city income tax.
