Either the author of this article doesn't pay property taxes in Ann Arbor... or he owns a stake in a real estate development firm.
"Ann Arbor is Michigan's fifth-largest city, but it has the largest tax base of any Michigan city or township... The current total taxable value of Ann Arbor property is $5.5 billion compared to $4.6 billion for Detroit."
Just for the sake of comparison: Ann Arbor is roughly 28 square miles and a population of 120,000. Detroit is roughly 143 square miles and has a population of 675,000
Taylor and his cronies act in the best interest of businesses, developers and the University. They lack transparency and spend frivolously... like proposing to build an $80 million dollar train station, or how they put up "art" that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars or spend $500k on a road study
Taylor is a lawyer and the son of a famous doctor. His contributors are mostly the owners and CEOs of Ann Arbor business' He probably has no difficulty relating to the common middle class family in town... The same families that are being hurt most by his policies.
Neither option is a good one; often the case in politics... But Eaton is the better choice. Taylor says Ann Arbor must be a leader to state and federal government when it comes to silly expenditures like climate change, yet turns around and blames the same state government when asked why our roads suck... Why doesn't Ann Arbor lead when it comes to having nice roads in this state? Worry about infrastructure before horrendous art.
And for anyone in the Fourth Ward, vote for Elizabeth Nelson. Show Taylor and his lackeys the exit.
