Today we are having a conversation with Alex Thomas about all things Ypsi Township.
Alex's references:
- Liberate Don't Incarcerate
- the 2015 study on housing affordability and economic equity in Washtenaw County
- the aborted move to rename Ypsi Township to Ford Lake Township
- the Observer article documenting the 86% of the township's revenue that comes from law enforcement citations
-Washtenaw County commissioners (next election is 2022!)
He also hopes you'll check outYpsi Can I Share, a grassroots organization founded to encourage civic engagement; and theHuman History of Ypsi Special for Black History Month; and an alternative, authentic perspective on Ypsi, What's Left, for local grassroots online news.
