Your Vote Counts -- join me in voting on August 5 for crucial local matters of funding (Public Transportation and Public School Budget)
Polls for the Michigan Primary (2014) are open today (Tuesday August 5, 2014) from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. -- please take time to support these non-partisan matters: Niles City
Dial-A-Ride Millage Renewal — Voters are being asked to approve a renewal of .50 mills on the taxable value of all taxable property in the city for the purpose of providing public transportation including the operation of the Niles Dial-A-Ride service. It is a two-year renewal that will generate approximately $97,686 annually.
Niles Community Schools
Operating Millage Renewal — Voters are being asked to continue levying 18 mills on all non-homestead property in the school district to provide funds for the district’s operating purposes. The remaining .50 mills are only available to be levied to restore millage lost as a result of a “Headlee” rollback and will only be levied to the extent necessary to restore that rollback. The 10-year renewal would generate approximately $3 million annually.

Yes -- both measures passed; here is story about Dial - a - ride:
by a strong backing from voters during Tuesday’s primary election.
A millage renewal of a half mill for Niles Dial-A-Ride was approved by a vote of 359 to 118, according to Election Magic.
That means the public transit service will receive approximately $97,000 a year for the next two years.
Niles Dial-A-Ride is celebrating its 40th year in operation.
The proposal passed overwhelmingly in all four precincts.
Niles 1 voted in favor 57-20, while Niles 2 voted 86-32, Niles 3 62-33 and Niles 4 154-43
