Today is Primary Election Day in Michigan, and I strongly encourage everyone – Republican and Democrat – to vote (though you can only vote on one side of the ballot). Here in Leelanau Township, where I voted earlier this morning out at the Fire Hall, we have county millages for recycling and roads. Across the 101st District there are a number of other millages, including the Suttons Bay Library millage, the Mason County Fire millage and millage for the Senior Center, and the Benzie Bus millage, to name just a few.

In addition, there is a Democratic primary for the 34th District State Senate seat, which covers Mason County as well as three others.
