Proposal for Countywide Transportation Tax Fails
Today, Oakland County Commissioners voted on a proposal that would have sent to the ballot a countywie transportation tax. The proposal failed to pass after a 6-6 voting stalemate. As a result, the current system will remain in place, allowing individual communities to either join or abstain from the Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation (SMART).
