Going to the Debate Tonight?

Hello again,

YMDC would simply like to see, among those who visit the blog, by a show of comments to this post, who might be in attendance at tonight’s debate. No names necessary. Just a quick “I’ll be there” will suffice. Just for fun.

We’re hoping for a pretty good turnout, and we notice that there are quite a few people visiting the blog (there are many who will be in attendance who might not have much access to the blog, so this is a late-in-the-game straw poll of possible blog-reader debate attendees, if you will).

Therefore: (1) you’re reading the blog; (2) we assume because of this you care about your city; (3) we hope that this translates into attending tonight’s debate, from 7 to 9 p.m., in EMU’s McKenny Union.

Let others know, too. Bring friends and family. Let’s keep the citizen involvement in Ypsilanti and its future moving forward.

Remember, post a comment here. Even if you’re not much of a commenter, a simple three-word comment in this space is all we ask.

Thanks,
YMDC

Progressive?

Do you consider yourself a progressive candidate? If so, what progressive issues do you support for the betterment of Ypsilanti citizens?

Articulate 5-Year-Old Writes…

Dear candidates,

I am a 5 year old little girl that loves the outside and especially parks…..  I understand that there are other important things within a city besides parks and recreation that require the cities funds.  My question to all three of you is simple, “will the parks within Ypsilanti ever get the makeover they so badly need?”  Or will I have to continue to avoid the shards of glass that line their pathways?

On the Boulevard

Did you support the building of the downtown boulevard? Do you support the proposed Depot Town Boulevard?

Enticing Township Boards

Exactly HOW does each mayoral candidate plan to entice the TWP boards (specifically Superior and Ypsi) to actually join forces? It is all well and good to speak of “Regional Partnerships” but if they don’t want to play we can’t force them.

County Representation

As mayor, how would you ensure getting good representation at the county level?
