Another public hearing on the bond proposal had been held on June 5. That public hearing drew four people who all expressed caution about the possible action, as some attendees suggested a millage or additional budget cuts to cover the retiree obligations – instead of bonding. More than a half dozen people also spoke at the July 10 hearing, as well as during two opportunities for public commentary. Many of the speakers were affiliated with a group called the Washtenaw Watchdogs, which has raised concerns about the bonding and is prepared to launch a petition drive that would force the proposal to be put on the ballot for voters to approve. Doug Smith, one of the group’s organizers, told commissioners that the Washtenaw Watchdogs will have a booth at the Ann Arbor art fairs, and is recruiting volunteers.
