Just got home from the No Kings rally in Livonia. Impressive turnout.

 This is my first post for my 2025 Livonia City Council campaign. I attended the candidate meet and greet at Madonna this morning and I believe a video of each candidate 4 minute spiel  will be posted on a facebook page. After hearing all of the candidates speak it's pretty clear they don't know what the job entails. The council is not an extension of the administration but rather an oversight body that represents the citizens especially as it pertains to fiscal matters. Even the current council doesn't understand that role and is why so much money is wasted.

LWV Candidate Forum

Last night was a candidate forum for the upcoming election on August 6th. Because there are so many folks running the forum was split in two segments. All of the candidates drew numbers to determine what group they would be in and and where they would sit. As I anticipated I drew a low number and had to be in the first group. The audience was much larger by the time the second group took their seats. Many of my friends did not get there till the first segment and with the Thursady night concert many chose to hear some music  first. Even so, it was a surprisingly good turnout. I liked a lot of questions the second group were asked and I was chomping at the bit to respond. A video of the forum will be on the League of woman voters website in the near future. When it posts I will answer those questions here on my blog.

I don't subscribe to the notion of "tough choices" and believe good governance identifies  and manages trends effectively, avoiding having to make decisions in crisis mode.
