Here's an interesting tidbit for those of you who claim that Brosnan is independent and not affiliated with the Democrat side. Trish Stein, Brosnan's campaign manager, has extremely strong ties to Granholm. She fought against Prop 2 (the affirmative action amendment) which won with 58% of the populations vote. She is also a strong advocate for gay and lesbian rights as well as working with the LGBT community (Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual and Transgender rights). http://www.pridesource.com/article.shtml?article=19245 http://www.crainsdetroit.com/files/40u40/Stein.html Really? Brosnan is independent? Her campaign manager sure has some ties.... |

Interesting, but actually former Mayor Bob Bennett is managing the Brosnan campaign. |

Yeah, and he isn't a Democrat at all. But, actually Trish Stein is the person running her campaign. |

Of course we know Mr. Bennett is a Democrat. So what? Your information about who is running the campaign is wrong. |

If she is so independent why are all of her strong ties with a lot of very big democrats. No, I am not wrong about Trish Stein. I will get the proof for you. |

Who on here has said she is not affiliated with the Democrats? No one. Just because she is affiliated with, friends with, takes donations from, etc., does not mean she cannot try to run an independent campaign. The position of Mayor in Livonia is supposed to be an independent office. Why not try to run an independent campaign-as much as is possible? I don't see the big crime here--at least she's not slinging the mud like Jack is(or wallowing in it like all his supporters). |

The position of Mayor is supposed to be independent, totally agree with you on that. In fact Kirksey stated that at one of the forums. Where I'm going to disagree with you is on where the crime is (not really a crime, but you know what I mean). My problem is that Brosnan is and has been trying to slam this "independence" stance. How can one be independent when everyone (generally) running their campaign, donating too and supporting is from the Democrat side? |

Livoniarocks, YOU are the one that continues to bring up the issue of political parties. Maureen Brosnan has not done that. Her opposer may have "stated" that this is a non-partisan race, but actions speak loauder than words. He has made it the most partisan race we have ever seen in Livonia. I think Brosnan has done a wonderful job of refusing to participate in such dribble. |

Great comic relief I think. Once again(since you don't seem to get it--and that does sort of go to you last comment about getting smarter!) Lots of people contribute to a campaign--doesn't necessarily mean that the campaign or the politician takes on those specific traits. For Example: Our MI AG is lying, cheating, womanizer. Does that mean Krooksey is the same, just because Cox contributed lots of $$$ to his campaign? No. It's possible, but not necessarily true. Get it?? |

I've never said that this election is non-partisan. I truly don't believe in this day and age any election can be--whether or not it should be. My issue with Maureen is that she has stated over and over and over how she is so independent, and she clearly is not. That is my problem, plain and simple. |

I've never heard her say that, but I have heard her say many times that she is trying to run an independent campaign. |

Maybe you are confused between an independant person ( Brosnan ) and one with many depends-dancies ( Kirksey)? |

As I've stated on another topic, Republicans and Democrats alike cheat and lie. Last time I checked if you believed in cheating you aren't going to make me cheat or my spouse cheat. But, if you believe in higher taxes, you certainly can raise my taxes, or put it on the ballot! |

I believe that was said once in a newpaper article. Over and over? I don't think so. I commend her for taking the high road. |

If her being independent is your only issue, then what does that have to do with what school her children attend? Not trying to start a fight or anythng.......yeah right
