supports the millage:

"This millage will cost less than $10.00 per month if your house is worth $100,000.00. If it is worth less than that it will be even less. I feel that is a very small price to pay to keep our essential services intact in Wyandotte. Almost every homeowner in Wyandotte has seen their tax bill drop much more than that over the past few years. VOTE YES on the millage!"

opposes it.

"Wyandotte has 2 fire stations and a hospital. Our neighboring cities can raise their taxes and take care of their own. If it was 50 years ago when we had double the population with all the factories filled with men to watch over then that would be a different story. I feel that it's a waste of money. Honestly, how many fires do we have in Wyandotte? That $10/month could go toward gas, food, utilities, church, etc. It accumulates pretty fast. I'm voting "no"."
