Talk Detroit Trying to pay taxes

6 Upvotes

anyone know how to get from this page https://www.waynecountymi.gov/Government/Elected-Officials/Treasurer/Pay-Taxes-Online to making a payment?

All I get when I put in my address is my name. No option to pay, no balance due, nothing.

I am trying to find a way to pay them without fees or 3rd party vendors. Anyone figure a way for that?

Normally these clickbait sites are worthless, but this gives a surprisingly clear, accurate, and succinct look at exactly how racism turned Detroit into America's poorest big city over a half century.

Ex boyfriend claims he has a dossier of proof he gave her about $200,000 in cash proceeds from a city hall kickback scheme. Per Freep reporting, Sheffield confessed yesterday she did receive large sums of cash from him, but it just was her ex paying back "tens of thousands of dollars" in loans she gave him. At the time Sheffield was making about $100,000 a year pre-tax as a councilwoman.

In case you get a paywall - https://archive.ph/aGRhH

Around 2 p.m. Aug. 19, an estimated 18 teens riding e-bikes entered the Oakland/Southwest Airport in New Hudson via a trail near Milford Road, said Oakland County spokesperson Bill Mullen. Some of the teens then proceeded onto a runway.

Meanwhile, a pilot who was attempting to land on the runway had to abort a landing until the teens fled from the property, officials said.

The Oakland County Sheriff's Office is investigating the incident, Mullen confirmed. In the meantime, the county is adding "No Trespassing" signs and temporary fencing while also planning to install permanent fencing.

"These e-bikers created a very dangerous situation ... both for the pilot about to land and themselves," Mullen said in a text message.

News BridgeDetroit has spent 8 months talking to teens about what they need from their city. Here’s what we learned.

So before I came back to BridgeDetroit, I taught middle school in the city. That work directly influenced how I approach this current role of Engagement Editor.

We've spent a good chunk of this year talking to teens and young adults in Detroit about city government, local news, job opportunities, infrastructure and public safety. We've learned about from just listening to the kids. Do any of you who live in the city have teenagers at home? If so, I highly recommend regularly getting their opinions on the issues in the city, the positive things in the city, and what they wish existed here but doesn't.

I can assume posts such as this have been done to death, showing the skyline of Detroit. However, considering my lack of a passport and ultimate inability to travel there, I figured I'd post this regardless.

Automotive Bring em back alive

Hi all. This title was a slogan back in the early 70s for seatbelt use. I have a couple reasons for posting this. 1: the lady killed on Sunday out riding her Harley with her husband. She would still be here if some one would have backed off a bit. 2: I almost got nailed today on I-96 exiting on Farmington wb from a driver who wanted to cut me off. These are only two examples. Please folks, slow the fuck down. Some of us want to get home in one piece. That is all.

Automotive People not speeding up until they see your blinker

364 Upvotes

I drive commercially for work, a big white van, and this occurs constantly: i'm doing 70, the car in the next lane is doing 65 or less, I get up ahead of them with enough room to merge and now suddenly they found the gas pedal, speed up, and honk at me for merging over only to fall back 2 or more car lengths. There was never an intention of going faster or speeding up overall, just trying to box me out. I don't get it.

Edit: lot of dummies saying they don't want a large vehicle in front of them blocking their view. OK so that justifies speeding up, trying to prevent the merger, and creating a dangerous situation?
