@8, those “other words” are yours, not mine. My candidacy isn’t intended to be symbolic. Your vote counts the same as everyone else’s, its meaning is for you to decide.

If you’re more concerned about campaigning than serving, that’s your choice. I’ve served the community for decades for no compensation. I’ll continue to do so, barring getting confused by anonymously posted comments to the point of deciding that it no longer has value.

What is it you really want to know about me? Ask a question and I’ll answer it.

What is it you want me to do? Turn it around and do it yourself. You’re the one with the power to accomplish what you deem important.

So in other words, the run for mayor is symbolic in nature, and my vote for this position would be largely meaningless. Something about mountains and Mohammad and all that.

@6, I don't think that most people would consider what I'm doing to be active campaigning. Primarily, I'm actively preparing to better serve the community. That said, later today I'll be participating in the on-board office hours on AATA route #2 from about 4:15 to 5:15 [link]. After that I'll be meeting with the Michigan Daily editorial board. Tomorrow night I'll be participating in the Old West Side Association's candidate forum at Bach Elementary School, starting at 7:00.

The spelling has been corrected on Councilpeson Higgins.

I missed the Jerusalem Quartet.

I was a big fan of the Budapest String Quartet in their heyday.

Who is Lily Au? She has popped up a lot lately at public events.

I think Tom Partridge needs to set up a campaign organization and raise funds to mount a serious campaign for public office. Maybe the Gang of Seven could help him out. Look what it did to Carsten’s career.

Tom picked up close to 1,000 votes in the State Senate primary.

Steve, are you actively capaigning for mayor?

That makes sense–it would be strange for someone with his experience and prominence to *not* be on the commission. Thanks, Steve, should have read more carefully.

Wayne has been on the energy commission for at least 10 (20?) years. He was being reappointed, hence “continue his service on that commission”. For the past year or more he has served as chair.

Wonderful to see Wayne on the commission. A good guy who knows his stuff and a longtime contributor to Ann Arbor.
