People generally feel more comfortable spending on non-essential items when broader economic conditions are positive. Discretionary spending is influenced not only by how much disposable income one has remaining after paying for essential expenses, but also by the overall economic climate. Discretionary spending could also include luxury goods and travel. These might include recreation, entertainment or other items consumers purchase when they have money leftover after necessary expenses are covered. The term discretionary spending, on the other hand, is used to describe non-essential costs. Necessary expenses are living costs that cannot be avoided.

Pittsfield, unlike Ypsilanti and most other communities, does not levy a local tax for roads. To that end, as with all other Township's in Washtenaw County, Pittsfield Township has had to take a leadership role in identifying monies, either through general fund or state/federal funding, to maintain/improve the public local and primary roads in our community. Over the years, the WCRC has significantly reduced its financial contributions for the maintenance/improvement of public local roads, and has relied on available state and federal funding to maintain/improve public primary roads. All public roads in Pittsfield Township are under the jurisdiction of the Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC).
