Voters across Michigan go to the polls on Tuesday.
More than 200 communities are holding elections.
Most of the questions involve school bond issues.
Bloomfield Hills schools are asking voters to approve a $58 million bond issue to pay for renovations to a high school. This proposal is a scaled back version of similar proposals that have failed in the past.
Some school districts are asking voters to approve bonds to pay for technology upgrades. For example the Allegan public school district is asking voters to approve an 18 million dollar bond issue. Part of that would be spent on computers.
Not everything on the ballots involves schools.
The issue in Delhi Township, near Lansing, is sludge. Or more accurately, what to do with it.
The township is asking voters to approve a surcharge on their water bills to pay for a sludge dryer. Supporters say the dryer would turn human waste into bio-fuel. Opponents say it’s just a waste of money.
*Correction: An earlier version of this story stated that the Bloomfield Hills school bond issue had failed twice before. The current proposal, however, is not that same as previous bond issues. The copy has been corrected above.
