The best part about spring

Finally, it’s spring! We asked our Macomb County department leaders and elected officials what their favorite part of the spring season is.

My favorite aspect of spring is the time change and the longer days. It's nice to leave work and the sun is still out, and the days of leaving home in the dark and returning home in the dark are over. – Richard Wooten, interim director Michigan State University Extension

Jogging without all the layers and cutting my lawn again. – Mark Hackel, Macomb County Executive

Spring flowers and Tigers b-ball! – Vicki Wolber, director Macomb County Emergency Management

My favorite aspect of spring is tulips. – Laura Rios, director Macomb County Veterans’ Services

My favorite aspect is an extra hour of daylight in the evening. – Rhonda Westphal, director of Macomb County Juvenile Justice Center

My favorite aspect of the spring season is the beauty … With the spring rains washing away the remnants of winter, flowers blooming, trees budding and grass turning green makes for a beautiful time of the year .... More so, springtime is when I married my loving wife, Yvonne. – Ted Wahby, Macomb County Treasurer
