Important Decisions Underway for Wayne County Voters

Hey there folks of Wayne County! Some important matters are on the ballot this week. On August 6, voters will get to have their say on everything from congressional and state representative candidates to the renewal of a park millage. There’s also voting for some key county offices such as clerk, prosecutor, sheriff, treasurer and register of deeds. You’re gonna see a long ballot this time, so be prepared!

Who’s on the Ballot?

Key offices, like mayor, township supervisor, treasurer, and clerk are on the line in many local municipal governments. For countywide offices – clerk, prosecutor, sheriff, treasurer, and register of deeds – all the incumbents are seeking reelection. The current Sheriff, Raphael Washington, faces challengers from both parties. Prosecutor Kym L. Worthy and Treasurer Eric Sabree, however, are running unopposed.

Two Key Propositions

Voters also get to weigh in on two countywide propositions. Proposition A seeks to amend the Wayne County charter to allow for a more competitive bidding process and extended terms for external auditors. Currently, bids are sought every eight years, but changes in the market could make it beneficial to revise this process.

Proposition P is asking voters to renew a millage for improving various parks in the county. This involves a small tax based on the value of one’s property. The money raised will be used to improve and operate numerous parks and related facilities across the county’s 43 communities. Rejecting the millage could leave a gap in funding, impacting the maintenance of these parks.

Meet the Candidates

In District 7, which includes central and western neighborhoods in Detroit, Alisha Bell, the Wayne County Commission chair, is running unopposed. The most competitive race, however, is in the 11th District where five Democrats are competing for an open seat.

In Dearborn, residents will also get to decide on some proposed changes to their city’s charter. These changes are aimed at increasing government transparency, adjusting retirement options for city employees, and factoring in environmental concerns.

Well, Wayne County, it’s time to get out there and cast your votes! Your contributions matter immensely in shaping the future of the community. Remember, voting is the purest form of democracy – let your voices be heard!
