I don’t particularly enjoy fireworks, I think football could be safer (especially for young athletes), and I don’t think Americans should go broke because they get sick. Color me radical, I guess.

Even in a tight fiscal environment, education is an investment in Michigan's future, not a line item to cut. Students in poverty, students with disabilities, and English language learners don't represent optional priorities. They represent Michigan's future.

Across Michigan last night: 22 of 36 school bonds passed, and 96 of 120 total tax asks passed statewide. No one likes property taxes. But maybe the problem isn’t property taxes per se. People are willing to pay for stuff they want, like good schools and strong communities.

Strong showing for public education Michigan elections: 22 of 36 school bond proposals passed, part of a broader pattern where 96 of 120 tax asks were approved statewide. The takeaway? Property tax resistance is real, but it's not the whole story. People vote for what they believe in.
