Local Schools and Governments will now be able to send informational mass communications to residents in the 60 days before an election (and more than 60 days before an election also). The State Legislature passed, and Governor Snyder signed into law Senate Bill 571, creating the "gag order", but has now been struck down by U.S. District Court Judge John Corbett O'Meara. Secretary of State Ruth Johnson will not be able to enforce this law.
UPDATE: The City was able to promote the Eastpointe Memorial Library millage and it passed securing our Library funding for years to come, and we also passed a Charter amendment reducing the cost on taxpayers when the City Council creates a Special Assessment.
