I like the “oh my.”

Ah, the human condition. I urge one and all to read up on “Rat Park.”

I watch the Pay Period Parade every couple weeks as luxury vehicles with Illinois plates rolls into town with the stuff. Dealing is already a serious crime and the police are working on it.

While I don’t like street walking in my town, prostitution should be decriminalized … if only to put the pimps out of work … but also to get those scuzzy girls off the streets and into the Yellow Pages, as well as the clinics.

Panhandlers who know what they are doing can make a lot of money. A really good rap is truly worth a buck or two. I know of students at Georgetown University that could make a hunsdred bucks in less than an hour. Most grifters around here are so strung out they can’t keep a consistent rap going for more than one minute.

Guys walking around carrying small white styrofoam coffee cups without lids at 7AM are just getting out of jail. They probably have a bad headache and should not bother anyone.

The mentally ill persons downtown are the same few we’ve had for many years and they all respond to a simple hello, and walk on. Be patient.

About the Questions

We welcome your comments on the questions. The questions appearing in this blog have been submitted by Ypsilanti city residents and interested parties. The YMDC will not inform the candidates of the actual questions to be used in the debate.

Each candidate will be asked to answer all questions asked during the debate and will be given a maximum of three minutes to respond to each question. The moderator is given the authority to keep time and to gently inform candidates when their answer-time has expired.

Please Note
While YMDC hopes for questions that can be posed to all three candidates, and while these will be the kinds of questions asked at the debate, we realize that there are significant questions that need to be asked of each candidate. YMDC does not plan to remove those questions from the list of questions we receive. Where we draw the line, however, is with clearly confrontational, accusatory statements. The committee reserves the right not to post such items.

About YMDC

The 2006 Ypsilanti Mayoral Debate Committee is a grassroots, nonpartisan, wholly volunteer organization made up of Ypsilanti city residents. The committee’s purposes are several:

First, the committee seeks to inform the public about mayoral candidate views and policy positions through a public debate.

Second, the committee hopes these efforts foster a sense of community and connectedness among city residents as they participate in the electoral process.

Last, the committee desires that this event will inspire future public forums where community members and voters will take an active role in defining public policy.
