You'll have to wait until November, but it appears to be a slam dunk for the citizens of Detroit....
The measure's organizer, Tim Beck of the Coalition for a Safer Detroit, said he expects it to easily pass.
"We don't feel we need to spend any money at all," Beck said. "The poll numbers are so far ahead, it'd be a waste ... This thing is going to pass, period."
After the Michigan Supreme Court ruled that voters should be allowed to decide the referendum, there was some confusion over exactly when city residents would vote on the question. Initial reports suggested the referendum would be on the August primary election ballot, but it will actually appear on the general election ballot in November.
Beck said his group wanted to be on the general election ballot due to the higher turnout.
"We prefer to be on the November ballot," he said.
