@3 Lori, I’m not sure what you are referring to, do you have something specifically in mind about Ann Arbor?

You cant convince me that the Tea Party is independent. it is clearly tied to the republican Party. I hope Americans wont be fooled.

John Floyd ran in the Fifth Ward general election as a Republican in 2008 and was decisively defeated by Carsten Hoenke.

Today, Fifth Warder Allen Licari, a real estate broker and multimedia producer, has pulled petitions to run in the August 2010 primary against Hohnke.

Mr. Licari is a longtime advocate of tranparency and reform in local government.

HOW does one go about getting elected on a platform of “will not Do anything for you” – no programs, no benefits, no spending?

– we must elect officials who will stop spending other peoples money – but how?

I was at this Lincoln Day Dinner. The keynote speaker, Ken Braun, was insightful…and he is HOT!

about the article: generally gag.

I respect Joe Fitzsimmons for his work founding the NEW Center.

Accountability to the citizens is lacking in Ann Arbor and that is the fault of the citizenry. Republicans were worse, we remember that to.

Currently, all four state legislative seats in the county are held by Democrats. “If we can do it in Massachusetts,” Boonstra said, “I think we can even do it in Ann Arbor.”

Good luck with that!

And it’s easy to sit on the outside and bitch and issue ultimatums and say no, at which the Republicans currently excel, but they can’t govern to save their lives.

Lack of accountability to citizens, explains much of what goes on in Ann Arbor government.
