It was a fascinating and very revealing debate. I fully agree with John. One observation: except for Sabra,they all presented themselves in their garb as council members, without any indication of how they saw themselves in the role of mayor and without any larger sense of where the city should be going. I suppose this is to be expected, but ultimately it shows the limitations of the other three candidates.
I should also note that there was no word about the upcoming debate on Mlive, but in the midst of the barrage of sports trivia there was a “story” about some pop singer’s daughter attending UM. The word “news” should be take off their masthead once and for all.

“Sabra”, not “Sandra”.

Sandra’s observation that we need yo think of 40 years out strikes me as on the mark. As does her point about child-friendly spaces in downtown.

I have little patience for individuals who ignored the public to push through A2d2 zoning, now claiming that they support “balance”. These individuals have done their damage, now they want to distance themselves from their own Frankenstein monster. The implication that they are not the reason that people are upset over inAppropriate development, is dishonest. It is time to remove dissemblers from civic life.
