Our children are our most precious resource. I received an email from young residents of Lansing and thought that I would share their questions and my answers with you.
On Sunday, October 25 an 18-year-old male is shot and killed in front of Pocket’s Pool Hall on the corner of Washington and Barnes Street in Lansing on Sunday afternoon. New leadership that understands the issues regarding violence in our city is going to be important. Having a bridge is going to be necessary for our future.
Dear Readers,
It has been an amazing October already. It is cold outside and we are going to be gearing up for winter.
If you are aware that you may be unable to keep up with your utilities bill, please contact your gas provider now. They may be able to set you up on a plan so that you will be able to have affordable payments.
October starts the beginning of Small Business Month. On Monday, October 5, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the height of the lunch hour rush, I will be working (volunteering) at Steve’s Sandwich Shop inside the C.A.T.A. bus station dowtown. I am again elated that the Greater Lansing Labor Council chose to endorse my candidacy for City Council At Large.
Dear Readers,
There is plenty of confusion regarding the primary. The primary on August 4 was for voters to pick the top 4 to run on Tuesday, November 3. Lansing is made up of 4 Wards and 4 At- Large positions. I’m running At-Large and there are 2 At-Large seats available. I am on the ballot.
Dear Readers,
Thank you for helping me through the primary. November 3 is almost here. Politics is a different space for me. It’s going to be about keeping balance in a skewed society.
Dear Readers,
Thank you for the awesome first step towards being your next City Council person. I’m appreciative of all the support that I received. Of course, I could use more support, more volunteers and more resources. Please remember to vote on Tuesday, November 3, 2009.
I know that the economy is in bad shape but our attitudes don’t have to be. This is the time to reach out to your neighbors. This isn’t the time for bickering about trivial matters just for the sake of it. We’re in difficult and different economic times and we’re going to have to change the way that we think.
Dear Readers,
I just wanted to get an ice cream cone. During the summer, I love going to different places and try out their ice cream. I will go to any soft serve place just for a small vanilla ice cream cone.
Father’s Day is Sunday, June 21, 2009 and I wanted to wish my husband, Frank, and all the fathers to please have a happy day.
