Democracy is civility and talking about issues, not making ad hominen and unjustified personal attacks on public servants. I have a fine grip, thank you.

“However, at an administrative briefing held on Aug. 25 to discuss the agenda, commissioner Wes Prater asked whether the bonds could be used for bridge construction – either for the East Stadium bridges in Ann Arbor, or for some of the bridges that the Washtenaw County Road Commission is responsible for”.

Thanks to Mr. Prater for asking questions about county issues that directly relate to the City of Ann Arbor Stadium Bridges fiasco.

“During the time available for commissioners to respond to public commentary, Leah Gunn said that Partridge’s partisan attacks were offensive to her personally. [Gunn is a Democrat.] She said she’s worked with Ouimet and Ping during a very difficult year, when the board had to cut $30 million out of the budget. During that time, Gunn noted that Ouimet has served as vice chair of the board, and Ping is chair of the working session. All the commissioners worked as a team, she said, adding “I do not appreciate his [Partridge's] partisan attacks.””

It’s called democracy Leah. Get a grip.
