The time to vote on the SMART Millage


There are times when political issues have moral and spiritual dimensions and when this is the case we have the responsibility to speak for the truth and we have a responsibility to take a stand.

Next November 8, 2022, the voters in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties in the state of Michigan in the U.S.A. will have the chance to take a moral stand by sending the message... All money and funding, transit jobs and transportation including those with no disabilities are protected by federal laws.*** to top government and industry leaders with a vote NO to defeat the SMART property tax proposal. And the next day there will not be one single person who is stranded or lost their job. Should this be defeated, the voters will then hold the trump card to take further necessary actions. This will not lower property taxes*** but instead work to restore bus service, lost money and increase fare box revenues first or no more tax increases of any kind.

*** Please see "The abolition of state revenue sharing for mass transit in Michigan"


Together, we can end the prevention of safe affordable public transit by defeating regressive transportation tax proposals that do not include full federal and state support for community transit.

Nothing would please the racketeers, gangsters, and the underworld more then for all church-goers and good people to stay away from the polls and to be uninformed about what is happening in Washington and in their own states and cities.

The cliche, "Politics is dirty" is plainly untrue; there are men and women who are in government who have high principles, fine motives, and unquestioned integrity. They have dedicated themselves to a life of public service because they sincerely want to serve their fellowmen. While it is true that politics seems to attract some people of questionable principle, that fact makes it all the more imperative that good people everywhere cast their vote for the best candidates and transit tax proposals including Proposal S, if they choose.

People who are not interested enough in what is going on in our country to register or vote are not likely qualified to speak authoritatively on government. There are a great number of fine, upstanding statesmen. Perhaps there are some who are unethical in their motives. That gives even more reason why everyone should vote. The ballot is part of our great American heritage and freedom. It is our only means of keeping government clean and proper. Many believe that it is not only their right to vote, but also the duty of every American to use his voting franchise, prayerfully and thoughtfully.

The old Soviet Union is an example of a country, which was indifferent to corrupt politics, and when the Communists ruled, they destroyed the partisan system and subsequently, the right of free franchise. Another example of corrupt politics is the attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Let us hope that the indifference of our people toward the importance of voting will not lead to similar situations here when Proposal S (The SMART property tax) expires in August 2018.



The public can and should demand quality mass transit investments and increased fare box revenues first as a prerequisite to all transportation related tax proposals.
