The primary election is on August 4 with a lot of important decisions to
make.
One decision I hope you will make is to vote yes for counttywide transit in
Wayne County. This will, for the first time, make it so all cities in the 3
county region are included in public transit, whether it's SMART, DDOT or
something else. Detroit area transit is far from perfect, but this is
another step to providing stable funding that can be used to expand both
fixed route and door-to-door service.
I bet just about all of you know family or friends that live in Wayne
County, so please spread the word. Early voting is available through
Sunday, with in-person voting on Tuesday. If you received an accessible
absentee ballot, a right which NFB of Michigan fought for by the way, you
can stil fill that out and return it in person — Do not mail a ballot at
this point.
There are other transit measures on the ballot in Michigan including a
renewal here in Kalamazoo, so I hope you vote, wherever you live.
Best,
J.J.
