Four candidates have filed to run for Schoolcraft College's Board of Trustees and one filed to run for trustee on the Livonia school board. McCann filed a statement of organization to run for re-election to a six-year term as 16th District judge. The filing deadline for that race is May 1. U.S. Rep. Thaddeus McCotter, R-Livonia, has not officially filed yet for his expected run for re-election in the 11th Congressional District. Syed Taj of Canton has filed to run on the Democratic ticket.

Three candidates have filed to run for two six-year seats on the Schoolcraft Board of Trustees and one for a partial term that expires Dec. 21, 2014. Douglas Adams of Canton, John Dalton of Livonia and Robert Machnee of Canton have filed to run for the six-year terms. John Elkins of Livonia filed to run for the partial term.

Dillon Breen is a member of a city commission. He is also a republican. Both things seem to be a good fit for the electorate that he is working with. Who else will run? |

Do you know if Breen is a 19 year old, and attends Schoolcraft? Is he related to Mary Breen, S'craft trustee who stepped down recently? |

You can tell a lot by looking at who people follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/#!/DillonBreen/following Rush Limbaugh? |

If memory recalls, Obama was handily chosen in Livonia. |

Not quite. Obama won by about a 150 votes out of 58000 cast that year. I would stil say Livonia has a strong republican electorate although that has been changing as the demographics have changed. |

This quote came from the Czech Republic FTA: Some people have the vocabulary to sum up things in a way that you can quickly understand them. This quote came from the Czech Republic. Someone over there has it figured out. It was translated into English from an article in the Prague newspaper Prager Zeitungon on 04.28.2010. "The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president." |
