Democratic Primary
The path of the Democratic nomination has narrowed to Bernie sanders and Joe Biden. Michael Bloomberg, Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar have dropped out and endorsed Joe Biden after Super Tuesday. Elizabeth Warren failed to win her own state of Massachusetts. Will she drop out soon? Will Biden and Sanders team up and avoid tearing up each other apart before taking on President Trump?
It would make sense for them to do that, but it is not clear whether Biden can continue his comeback. The vote comes to Michigan next Tuesday. Stay tuned.

Election 2020
Michigan Democratic primary is next Tuesday. We urge you to go out and vote, or get an absentee ballot and vote in advance. It is important that you vote regardless who you vote for. Voting is one of the most fundamental rights we have as citizens. Go out and vote.
Other issues on the ballot
The number of absentee ballots is expected to increase this year after voters approved a measure in 2018 allowing absentee voting for any reason. Clerks across Michigan are pleading for help, fearing more ballots would cause delays in results.
The fear is that absentee ballots take longer to count because they need to be removed from envelopes and checked before going through a tabulator. Election staff can’t begin counting absentee ballots until 7 a.m. on Election Day, according to the law. The only solution is to hire additional workers to help with the election because counting ballots before the polls close is not recommended.

Housing Market update
Tax assessment
: All homeowners should receive an assessment notice in the mail either this weekend or in a few days. This is not a tax bill, it rather shows changes in the assessment of your property, either an increase or a decrease. Either more or less in taxes. It also shows the time and date that you could contest the changes at the city or township level. Every municipality is different. If you need help understanding the notice,
send me an email.
