Congratulations to the voters of Ypsilanti. You have reelected the very people who tried to shove a city income tax and a new water street millage down your throat with a sneaky election they hoped no one would notice. Well done. Just two months ago we showed up in mass to resoundingly defeat these proposals. Where were you on Tuesday? Pete Murdock succeeded one again in playing on hate, fear and intolerance. Bravo!

I have a question on Election Day do current elected officers take a vaction to be at the polls or are the tax payers paying them? In my township the current Township Supervisor was at the poll at 3:30pm.
