Wondering weather your vote will make a difference on Election Day, Tuesday Nov. 3? Take a lesson from an 18-year-old Milford resident who decided not to vote in a special election last month to decide on funding for street repairs. Greg Zinkosky tells the story of his son Steven, who decided against going with his Dad to vote.

"What a civics lesson he would learned no matter which way he had voted as he would have been the deciding vote," Zinkosky said. "Amazingly the road millage is an exact tie! He could have voted the first time and been the decisive vote. Remember this next time you're wondering whether it's worth going to the polls and tell your kids this story."

See the Detroit News article on the Milford tie.

Farmington and Farmington Hills will vote on school board and council members as well as charter amendments. Use the following voting resources:
