The results, keep in mind, are unofficial until certified by the Board of Canvassers.</p><p> Voters in Dexter Village have opted to continue moving forward with the process of becoming a city. The measure passed on a vote of 460-to-408. The next step will be the election of a nine-member charter commission. Once a draft charter is adopted and passed by the state, incorporation into city-hood will go before a vote of the people.</p> Wed, 08 May 2013 02:35:41 +0000 David Fair 29070 at http://wemu.org http://wemu.org/post/local-homeowners-have-protections-tax-lein-foreclosures <p>National Consumer Law Center says poor and elderly</p><p>Americans are victimized by property tax lein forclosures.</p><p></p> Wed, 11 Jul 2012 13:04:22 +0000 Bob Eccles 16390 at http://wemu.org http://wemu.org/post/state-residents-willing-pay-more-transportation <p>New poll shows Michigan voters are willing to pay higher taxes for transportation.</p> Fri, 27 Apr 2012 17:51:41 +0000 Bob Eccles 13094 at http://wemu.org http://wemu.org/post/no-more-tax-dodging <p><a href="http://www.businessforsharedprosperity.org/" target="_blank">Business for Shared Prosperity</a></p><p>Tax haven abuse is costing small businesses and ordinary taxpayers billions of dollars.
