On Tuesday, May 3, we have a chance to reverse the downward slide in support for education in Washtenaw County. Our tax money provides 12% of the funding to serve young people (from kindergarten through age 26) in our County who have special educational needs. Renewing the special education millage will help all of the children in our local schools.
If the millage isn't renewed, our kids education will be in even greater jeopardy than what looms from the proposed $170 cut in per student funds from the State this fiscal year and a cut of as much as $300 per student next year. We need to find a way to reduce the State funding cuts, too. But, for now, we can start by supporting the renewal of the special education millage.

About Me
- Getting Informed and Involved
- I created my first blog Involved Voters in July 2008 while living in SE Michigan to inform local voters and support Democratic candidates. I currently live in New Jersey, having recently moved from 5 years in California. A couple of years ago I shifted the emphasis of the blog to focus on educating Involved Voters about reforming the US financial system and getting big money out of politics. With the election of Donald Trump as POTUS, I decided to create a second blog for the purpose of holding his administration accountable.
