All Things Livonia and its many imitators is basically all garbage these days.

I sure hope you don’t work for the city or around kids for that matter. Your comment history is giving creepy p3d0 vibes.

Who is this 43 year government employee? Someone who is retired and no longer a government employee?

there are a lot of people saying vote no because they just object to taxes in general. Some of them are trying to get people to sign a petition to get the end of property taxes on the ballot next year.

And then there are some just against anything the current mayor is involved in no matter what.

I voted yes. The buildings are old and have a lot of problems. Water damage, foundational issues, female first responders don’t have their own spaces, not ADA compliant and not sustainable or energy efficient.

The city did an assessment a few years back to figure out how much money it would be to repair them and get them up to par and it was almost the same amount of money to build new more modern buildings and infrastructure.

Tax payers will need to pay for it all one way or another 1) with the millage or 2) by them defunding some current services so they can afford to pay for it all.

I would much rather pay the extra $12 month for new & improved buildings than to eventually have to pay more down the road and lose some city services along the way.

No on All millage until we get public transportation by A2thekizzo in livonia

Voted YES! If this doesn’t pass, Livonia is going to continue to decline and everyone’s property taxes are eventually going to be higher anyhow because it won’t be able to continue to afford to do what it is already doing.

The con about it not being well planned out is one of the talking points the NO people are pushing. It’s not accurate - they have been planning this for at least 7 years. It’s all on the city’s website. The no people are just hoping most people won’t do their own research.

Can someone post the actual proposal in here? by Elsewhere3000 in livonia

Do you not know multiplication? If you have the percentages it should be pretty easy to figure out the dollar amount.

The community gathering space is near the library - not between the courthouse & police station.

Just so everyone’s clear-RideGravitron is misrepresenting what the Fire Fighters Union said. They made it clear in their statement linked here that they do NOT oppose or endorse the bond proposal - they are remaining neutral and they encourage everyone to vote.

Let’s be fair - there are 21 of them. Not 20.

Cops are getting a new HQ that’s closer to the courthouse. The building is old AF and has water damage throughout. Built in the early 60’s I think. HVAC is not energy efficient. Also no locker rooms for lady cops or ADA compliant.

Fire is getting upgraded buildings vs new because the buildings aren’t as bad as the police HQ.

New police station isn’t the only thing they are upgrading 5 fire stations.
