Detroit Citizens Vote:
Re-opening the Belle Isle Aquarium?
YES!!!
Election results: Detroit
August 3, 2005

PROPOSAL
Reopen Belle Isle Aquarium?
100% of precincts reporting
Yes 110,615 88.0%
No   15,093 12.0%

Voters are advised that this is an Advisory Ballot Question and does not guarantee the reopening of the Aquarium.  It did, however, give Voters the opportunity to express their opinions which strongly indicate the need for exploring other sources for the funding and operation of the Belle Isle Aquarium.


Supporters gather at the Aquarium Aug 3rd, to celebrate the decision of Detroit's citizenry.
