    1. Fix the schools - That means you School Board - Let Mr. Bob do the job - Get rid of all of the duplicity in roles (I don't care how much seniority you have - no one needs that many administrators) - Get rid of the bas&&** who are on the take, etc.

    2. Make the residents care - the whole Kwame mess would never have happened in Troy or Novi - the residents would never let that sense of entitlement, greed and nepotism go unchecked. NEVER!

    3. Fix City Council - Stop the nonsense that seems to go on in those chambers no matter who is elected - Stop the infighting, stop the greed, stop the wasting money - Electing council members from districts (i.e. people who really live in the areas that they are representing and therefore know the people and issues first hand) instead of at large (which basically turns into one huge popularity contest - ie., how else could Martha Reeves be elected to office? What experience does she bring to the political table? Electing at large members assures that all of the members will come from/live in about two neighborhoods out of the whole city) may be the answer.

  • 1. Eliminate the entitlement culture which has gripped much of the city's population.

    2. Get the car makers building products which people want to, and can, buy.

    3. Complete the People Mover, with lines extending along all the major streets (Woodward, Gratiot, Grand River, et. al.)
