She has also completedvarious business/finance courses atLansing Community College and severaltraining courses while employed by theState of Michigan.

In addition, he chairs the localAsset Building group.
The issuesFollowing is a “question/answer”
session with the candidates:
Q: Schools everywhere arestruggling with budget
issues. What specific budgetproposals will you bring to theboard if (re)elected?
Althouse: First, we should try to findservices that we can share with otherdistricts. For example, we currently sharefood services with Waverly. Next, weshould find ways to conserve energy.Doing this will not only impact us now, butin the future.
Platte: Until the state reforms howmoney is generated for public schools,budget issues will be an ongoing problemin Michigan. However, there is anotherarea that I believe we have a chanceof turning around that could benefit ourrevenue greatly. It is our declining
enrollment. Since state funding is basedupon student population, we need to makesure that we are not only retaining thestudents we already have, but attractingothers to our district.
To do this we need: to deliver arelevant, first-class education to studentsof all ages and abilities; a curriculumthat is rigorous and effective; staff that iscommitted to the success of our students;buildings that are secure and conduciveto 21st century learning; technology thatkeeps pace with the real world and forgingrelationships with parents and communitymembers for the benefit of our students.
Reich: It is a known fact Michigan’seconomy is at an all time low and schooldistricts across the state have felt thewrath of cuts and forced retirements. TheEaton Rapids Public school board mustcontinue to be innovative and implementnew ideas, ideas that work. School boardsmust work as a team to be successfulfor the school district but also ensure ourchildren are given the very best educationpossible.
Williams: I’m very much in favorof the proposed bond because of thetechnology it will bring to the school,as well as infrastructure improvement.We have some 50-year-old buildings with50-year-old furnaces. I would have to lookat budget proposals and enrollment beforeI made a decision on closing a school. Onaverage, we’ve lost 80 kids a year for thelast ten years.
Wycoff: Schools need to find amore fair way of receiving funding. Thestudents in Eaton Rapids deserve thesame opportunities as other more affluentdistricts. At the same time we need to beprudent with the money we do have.
Q: What specific stepscould the district
take to attract new families?
Althouse: Having the most vibranteducational program we can deliver,having good scores on standardizedexams, having Eaton Rapids grads goingto college and having good programs inthe earlier grades, preschool, for example.
Platte: Making the changes suggestedabove would be a good start. However,another key element to attracting newstudents and families is marketing. Icurrently serve on the district’s marketingcommittee and we have worked very hardto promote awareness of our programsand shed a positive light on our districtand community.
Working hand in hand with the EatonRapids Chamber of Commerce and KoltCommunications, we have advertisedthrough billboards, televisioncommercials and local newspapers, just toname a few.

Thomas Byerley (i)w Party: No party
w Age: 57
w City of residence: Dimondale
w Occupation: Eaton County pro-bate judge
w Education: BBA,business man-agement, Western Michigan University
J.D., University of Toledo College of Law
w Political experience: Eaton County Probate Judge,appointed April 23, 2010.
w Family:Married, four children, five grandchildren
w Campaign website: JudgeByerley.com
What makes you qualified for this position?
Before assuming the Probate Court bench byappointment of the governor, I practiced law forover 30 years in the state of Michigan, including:Assistant prosecuting attorney in Cass and BerrienCounties, where I handled cases of child abuse andneglect, juvenile delinquency and criminal prosecu-tions of adults; I served as county attorney, advisingelected officials of their legal responsibilities and liti-gating cases where the county was a party; I served10 years at the State Bar of Michigan, where I wasethics counsel for lawyers and judges throughout thestate; and I engaged in the private practice of law,which included estate planning and litigation of alltypes.
Many sitting judges and practicing attorneys haveendorsed me as the most qualified person to be EatonCounty Probate Court. These endorsements may befound at www.JudgeByerley.com.
All areas of government are under pressure toimprove efficiency. What are your suggestions forimproving the efficiency of this court?
Since being appointed to the bench, I have learnedthat my predecessor recently reorganized staffinglevels and programs to improve efficiency and cutcosts to the taxpayer. Even though I have served asjudge for only a few weeks, I am also discovering thatadditional efficiencies in personnel costs and operat-ing expenses can be gained to better serve the public.I will be working with the court administrator to incor-porate those additional changes as the new courtbudget is prepared.
Do you believe that the court is providingtimely and quality service? If so, elaborate on
details. If not, what do you propose to improve?
I have been fortunate to assume a highly com-petent and professional staff at the Eaton CountyProbate Court and at the juvenile facility. The staffhas been dedicated to provide timely and quality ser-vice to families, juveniles, attorneys and others whobecome involved in the probate court process. I amvery proud of the dedicated employees of the court,but the quality and timeliness of service can alwaysbe improved even further. My management philoso-phy is to reject the “top down” approach, unless nec-essary, and allow the individuals who are performingthe tasks every day to suggest ways for improve-ments in quality and timeliness. That will take placesoon.
Do you accept political contributions fromattorneys or law firms that appear before you? Isthis a conflict of interest? Please explain.
The Code of Judicial Conduct, adopted by the Mich-igan Supreme Court, applies to all judges and judicialcandidates and cannot be disregarded. Those rulesprovide that lawyers may be asked to contribute to ajudicial campaign, but the lawyer may not be askedto give more than $100 per election cycle. The theoryof the rule is that lawyers have a right to be a partof the political process and have a right to contributeto campaigns of judicial candidates. By setting a $100limit for solicitations, however, it is presumed that nojudge would be prejudiced by a contribution of thatlevel. I strictly follow the Code of Judicial Conduct andaccept lawyer contributions within the limit imposedby law.
Ryan Wilsonw Party: No party
w Age: 52
w City of residence: Lansing
w Occupation: Attorney and navalofficer

What makes you qualified for this position?
Over my 26-year career as an attorney, I have dem-
onstrated that I am an advocate for families, childrenand the elderly. I firmly believe that children and teenslearn what they experience and live. I am deeply com-mitted to family values and will protect our childrenand elderly. This will be my first priority.
I have dedicated the past 21 years concentratingmy law practice in the area of probate law earning thehighest rating for legal ability and ethical standards bya leading peer review organization. I have received aCertificate of Completion in the areas of probate andestate planning issued by the Institute of ContinuingLegal Education and the Probate and Estate PlanningSection of the State Bar of Michigan. I have been amember of the Probate and Estate Planning Section ofthe State Bar of Michigan for over 20 years.
I am the co-chair of the Probate and Trust Sectionof the Ingham County Bar Association, and am along-standing member of the Greater Lansing EstatePlanning Council. I write a regular monthly column,entitled “Estate Strategies”, in the Ingham CountyLegal News, and am recognized as an attorney withprobate and estate planning expertise within the locallegal community.
I have a second career as a U.S. Naval officer. Aftercompleting 3 years of active duty in 1988, I have spentthe past 22 years in the U.S. Navy Reserves in theJudge Advocate General’s Corps. I am a Captain andcurrently assigned as the Staff Judge Advocate forthe Navy Region Midwest, Reserve Component Com-mand, Great Lakes, Illinois. My legal and military expe-riences have prepared me to be an effective leaderand probate judge.
All areas of government are under pressure toimprove efficiency. What are your suggestions forimproving the efficiency of this court?
As a Naval officer with over 25 years of militaryexperience, my courtroom will be run with disciplineand efficiency. I also have a strong background as anexecutive and leader. I was the President of the larg-est Eaton County law firm for 7 years and managed anannual budget in excess of $2,000,000, including 20employees. In addition, I have served as a Command-ing Officer for 2 separate naval reserve units. Withtotal responsibility for the men and women undermy command and the allocated budgets, I demon-strated a high level of competency for managementand administrative matters. On 2 separate occasions,I was awarded a Meritorious Service Medal for myoutstanding performance as a Commanding Officer.
With regard to particular suggestions, I wouldstrive to make mediation a regular tool of the probatecourt. Mediation with a focus on collaboration is agood process for disputed probate cases. Issues canarise in several probate matters that may be medi-ated, including but not limited to estates, trust, guard-ianships and conservatorships.
Do you believe that the court is providingtimely and quality service? If so, elaborate ondetails. If not, what do you propose to improve?
Judge Michael Skinner was an outstanding probatejudge, and he was providing timely and quality serviceto the citizens of Eaton County. I would like to con-tinue his legacy. Judge Skinner was a strong supporterof the Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) orga-nization and the Child Abuse and Neglect PreventionCouncil. I would continue that support.
I believe that each person deserves his or her dayin court, and I will work diligently to improve anybacklog of cases. The Friend of the Court (FOC) Divi-sion needs to be reviewed and evaluated. I have heardseveral complaints about the FOC’s processing timeand the inconsistency in its rulings. I will do my bestto ensure that the FOC does its job and follows thelaw.
I also believe there are ample opportunities to refercontested matters to mediation, pursuant to a recentMichigan Court of Appeals ruling. This process couldsave families time and money if it is done in the appro-priate circumstances.
Do you accept political contributions fromattorneys or law firms that appear before you? Isthis a conflict of interest? Please explain.
My campaign committee is following the Canonsset forth in the Michigan Code of Judicial Conduct.My committee has accepted donations from individualattorneys, and this is not considered a conflict of inter-est under the Michigan Code of Judicial Conduct. Con-tributions cannot be accepted from law firms.
Whether someone (including attorneys and otherprivate citizens) contributed to my campaign will notbe a factor in any ruling. As a judge, my rulings will beconfined to the law and facts of the case.
The Michigan Code of Judicial Conduct prohibits acandidate for judicial office from personally solicitingdonations. A candidate may establish a committee tosecure and manage contributions. A campaign com-mittee is prohibited from soliciting contributions inexcess of $100 per attorney.

State Rep. Rick Jones ishard at work campaigningdoor to door and handingout brochures.
But the Grand LedgeRepublican is knocking ondoors for someone else.
Roughly two weeksbefore the Nov. 2 election,Jones is clearly in coastingmode in his bid for the 24thSenate District seat. Thesedays, he is spending muchof his time trying to helpfellow Republicans - stateReps. Tonya Schuitmakerof Lawton and GoeffHansen of Hart - in closeraces.
“I’ve done everything Ican in this race (in the24th District that includesEaton, Allegan and Barrycounties.),” Jones said.“I’ve spent a great deal oftime in Allegan and Barry
counties.”Jones, 57, said he is not
too worried about beingelected to the seat in theRepublican district, partlybecause his Democraticopponent, Michelle DiSanoof Potterville, has notactively campaigned forthe post and has ignoredinvitations to appear atforums.
No commentContacted by the
Lansing State Journal,Disano, a deputy clerkwith the 54A District CourtProbation Department,declined to answerquestions about herpositions on issues facingthe state.
A former sheriff andfiscal conservative who hasserved six years in theHouse, Jones said herealizes Michigan facestough budget decisionsahead but hopesRepublican Rick Snyder, ifelected as governor, willput the state on a path offinancial stability.
“The Republicans havebeen waiting for eightyears to have a governorthat we can work with,”said Jones, referring to thetwo terms of DemocraticGov. Jennifer Granholm.
“There have been toomany one-time fixes,accounting gimmicks andusing federal money toplug the gap instead ofmaking real reforms.”
Jones said he is

confident Republicanlawmakers would unitearound Snyder, althoughsome have criticized himas a moderate.
Waiting to seeNevertheless, Jones said
he remains undecided
about one of Snyder’s keyproposals - replacing theMichigan Business Taxwith a 6 percent corporateincome tax. Jones, whonow just supportseliminating the MBT’ssurcharge, said he wantsto hear feedback frombusiness groups onSnyder’s proposal beforebacking it.
Jones, who spent muchof last year battling thestate’s leasing of newheadquarters for theMichigan State Police,said the state will have toget serious about reigningin spending because ofan anticipated $1.5 billionbudget shortfall next year.
Ideas for savingsJones has proposed
saving $330 millionannually by eliminating atax credit for low-incomepeople and $30 millionannually by commutingsentences of some dyinginmates.
He said much money canbe saved by consolidatingadministrative functions ofthe Michigan Department ofCorrections.
“I don’t think there isany choice. The only twochoices we have aremassive tax increases, orwe make the cuts,” Jonessaid.
“We can’t print moneylike the federalgovernment.”

CHARLOTTE — Publictransportation systems sup-ported by tax levies face a di-lemma:
While somewhere around10 percent of citizens actual-ly ride the buses, they mustfind support from more than50 percent to levy the tax.
If a system seeks tochange an existing tax levyto serve future riders, the cal-culations become more com-plicated.
In less than two weeks,the Eaton County Transpor-tation Authority (EATRAN)will either be making plansto implement an expandedpublic transit system, or elsethey will be in survival mode,making plans for a specialelection to allow them tokeep their doors open.
A ballot proposal on theNov. 2 ballot would replacea quarter mill tax levy, whichexpires after the Dec. 2011tax collections, with a three-quarter mill levy to be collect-ed for five years, beginningin Dec. 2012.
“The impact of this elec-tion will be felt for manyyears by citizens whetherthey ride the bus or not,”said EATRAN General Man-
ager Donna Webb.The current levy, which
costs the owner of a $100,000house approximately $12.50per year, yields $860,000 peryear for the EATRAN system,and covers 34 percent of itsoperating expenses.
The proposed levy, whichwould cost the same home-owner approximately $37.50per year, would produce anestimated $2.55 million peryear, and allow the system toexpand its services by add-ing fixed routes in additionto the current demand ser-vice.
Webb said the addition offixed routes will allow thesystem to be more efficientthan the current model of re-lying entirely on curb-to-curbservice.
This planned expansiontroubles Charlene Wagner, aleader of the “Friends of theTaxpayer” committee, whichseeks to defeat the proposal.
Wagner said she is not op-posed to EATRAN, but be-lieves this is not the timefor expanded services, withrecord foreclosure numbersand many taxpayers strug-gling.
“I think EATRAN hassome needs, and they havetheir struggles, but I don’t
think this is the right plan,”she said.
“I feel that even if youdo need extended hours, youshould find a better way, ask-ing less from the taxpayer.”
Bob Robinson, spokesper-son for the “Friends of EAT-RAN” committee, feels thisis exactly the time to expandpublic transportation.
“We can talk green econ-omy, and most people havepictures of solar panels andwindmills. But public transitis a part of the green econo-my,” he said.
“It has probably a biggerreturn on investment thanany other investment in in-frastructure.”
Neil Rohrs, another oppo-nent of the proposal, believesthe system should demon-strate more efficiency in us-ing current resources beforethey get larger.
“When you look at the rid-ership, how can you justifyexpanding this with so fewriders on those large buses?”he said.
“I’d like to see them a lit-tle more efficient in their cur-rent 12 hours a day.”
The EATRAN board iscounting on the increasedrevenue to finance the trans-portation improvement plan,
which they say will allowthem to improve efficiency.
The plan is available onthewebatwww.friendsofeatran.org/images/EATRANPlan.pdf
EATRAN seeks to expandBy ALAN [email protected]
Hundreds of signs acrossEaton County urge votesfor or against a proposedproperty tax levy tosupport the Eaton CountyTransportation Authority(EATRAN). If the proposalpasses, the currentquarter mill property taxlevy, which expires Dec.2011, would be replacedwith a three-quarter milllevy beginning in Dec.2012.

Reich: In order to attract newfamilies to the school district, it isvery important to work closely withthe local governing bodies to ensuregrowth development and to ensurefuture expectations of growth areachieved.
Eaton Rapids is a greatcommunity to raise a family anda great place for manufacturerexpansion including futuremanufacturing possibilities by greatpeople with great work ethics.
Williams: Five hundredthousand dollars of the $25 millionbond proposal will go to attractfamilies by bringing in a hightech high school. This would bea separate school of 400 kidsmaintained within the current highschool. The rest of the bondwill allow us to be academicallycompetitive with an improvedauditorium, more moderncomputers and 19 school buses thatrun on butane, thus making us agreener community.
Wycoff: I have no magic wand
or great plan to bring any additionalmoney to the district other thanmarketing the great programs wehave to attract more students. Howdo we do that? We have to letpeople know all the great things wedo and at the same time never besatisfied with not doing better.
Q: What particular

you bring to the board?
Althouse: My educationalbackground. I’ve taught at MSU for25 years. I now run the programwhere I was once a student.
Platte: In 1995, after 10 yearsof civil service, I put my careeron hold to focus on raising mychildren. Being a single-incomefamily of five for nearly 15 yearshas made me very frugal and budgetminded.
As a parent, I have been anavid school volunteer for more than16 years, serving in every capacityfrom field trip chaperone to roomparent. Since being appointed to
the board in January of 2010, I havehad the benefit of working throughthe school budget process as wellas other important issues.
Reich: I’m fortunate to have hadtwo career paths. I bring 25 yearsof law enforcement experience andleadership qualities to the schooldistrict. As the gaming director,I have extensive experience indeveloping and evaluating programpolicies, procedures and rules, anddeveloping and analyzinglegislation. I have participatedin the forecast of revenue andpreparation of the division budgets.
Williams: I’m a no-nonsenseperson and firmly believe in beingforthright. If the kettle’s black, I’llcall it black. This community waskept in turmoil for a whole year indiscussing whether or not to closeNorthwestern Elementary. I wouldhave pursued an earlier vote. I’mnot afraid to voice my opinion.
Wycoff: I feel that I can see bothsides of issues from being a part ofthe school and that is my biggestasset for being on the school board.

Jeffrey Owen Jones andPeter Moyer recently wroteand published The Pledge,which chronicles the pledgeof allegiance.
The Pledge of Allegiancewas adopted on Oct. 12,1892, the 400-year anniver-sary of Columbus’s voyageto America. This creed hasnot achieved the notorietyof other documents (theConstitution and Declara-tion of Independence) orsongs (America the Beauti-ful and Star Spangled Ban-ner), but the tradition ofreciting the pledge has last-ed close to 120 years.
A young Baptist minister,Francis Bellamy, wrote thePledge for a national maga-zine called the Youth’s Com-panion. It was included inthe magazine as part ofthe first Columbus Day pro-
gram.The original Pledge con-
tained 22 words and nowstands at 31 words. The au-thors of The Pledge trace thehistory of each change. Thelast major change occurredwhen President Eisenhowersigned a bill in 1954 adding“under God.”
I checked into each Ea-ton Rapids school building’spractices as to saying thePledge of Allegiance:
• Lockwood (K-1) stu-dents say it in their roomswith their teachers
• Northwestern (2-3) stu-dents say it in unison beingled by student leaders overthe PA system. Classes taketurn with the leadership.
• Greyhound Intermedi-ate (4-6) students say it inunison being led for thestarting words by our build-ing secretary, Suzie Griggs.
• Middle School: We werenot saying it regularly but astudent has encouraged usand we are going to be do-ing it
• High School: We do notsay it regularly but will workit in as a result of this articleand book.
Early on, many statesmandated that we recite thePledge in school. Gradually,challenges occurred be-cause of “under God.” Rightsunder the first Amendment,and people just not wanting
to be told what to do. Therehave even been three Su-preme Court cases dealingwith this topic.
Rotarians say this eachweek at the beginning of ourmeeting. As I write this ar-ticle, I wondered if I hadbeen saying the Pledge byrote without thinking aboutits significance. I am going toput a little more effort intothinking about the words.
I like closing this with aninsight from a WashingtonPost journalist (Mary Kirk-patrick) who reviewed ThePledge: “The Pledge “is apowerful unifying ritual thatbrings together Americansin an affirmation of sharedpatriotism.”

The Truth About the EATRAN TransportationMillageNathanuses awheelchairand he’s furious. Nathan
takes EATRAN to work
four days each week,
earning his pay atWalmart.
Without EATRAN he
wouldn’t be able to work,
pay taxes, or spend money
atall. SoNathanwould like
to see the EATRANmillage (to increase operating
hours on weeknights, bring back weekends,
and establish efficient new bus routes) pass in
November. That way his freedom and mobility
can include weekends and weeknights throughout
the entire county, and our region would benefit
from the increased economic activity. Everyone
knows that public transportation is good for the
economy.
But a small group of opponents want to prevent
Nathan from that reality, saying that EATRAN
isn’t “efficient” and that providing transportation
to Nathan, seniors, veterans, persons with
disabilities, those in poverty, and other citizens
is too costly. They have even gone so far as to
spread rumors that EATRAN is running a deficit,
exaggerating about a tax increase, and blaming the
millage proposal on “tax-and-spend liberals.”
They’re dead wrong. These opponents don’t
understand that:
1. EATRAN is a local, state, and federally
funded public service, not a profit
business. EATRAN does not operate
on a deficit or lose money.
2. The millage proposal put on the ballot for
November 2 was approved by bipartisan
vote of 11 out of 14 Eaton County
commissioners, and has significant
bipartisan support.
3. The millage will only cost the average
Eaton County family $1.20 – the cost of
a cup of coffee – each week.
So we ask these naysayers: Before spreading
rumors about the essential services that will be
provided by the EATRAN millage, could you
please learn the facts? Life for Nathan, persons
with disabilities, seniors, low-income folks,
students and others doesn’t stop weeknights or
weekends.
Keep EATRAN moving...
VoteYES on EATRANTuesday, November 2
For more information about the increased service hours
and new efficient bus routes proposed by the millage,

There are many good reasons to
vote yes on school bond requestWhy should you vote “yes” on the Ea-
ton Rapids Public Schools Bond Propos-al this November?
There are many good reasons. ButI am worried the most obvious reasonmay be overlooked — because it is sosimple.
The district needs the money to pre-vent it from having to use “operational”(general) funds to take care of capitalimprovements that need to be made.
Teachers, support staff, administra-tors and others are the heart of ourschool district. There would be no edu-cation taking place at all without them.
And staff salaries come out of the dis-trict’s operational/general fund budget.
There is no “extra” money in the gen-eral fund, and it is a constant struggle tobalance that budget.
The school district does not getenough money from the state to takecare of everything.
For many years, this community hasrelied on support from the people wholive here, through a tax-payer supportedschool millage.
The bond proposal asks the commu-nity to continue its support without anyincrease in the current school millagerate.
Many of the items listed in thebond proposal simply have to be done— including fixing building infrastruc-ture like roofs, purchasing new comput-ers and computer-related equipment andbuying new buses.
The district is going to have to spendmoney on these things in the near futureregardless of whether the bond passesor not.
If the bond doesn’t pass, money forthose critical needs is going to have tocome out of the general fund budget.
But the district wants and needs tokeep that money for the people thatmake the district run.
The bond would allow the districtto pay for needed capital improvementswithout sacrificing staff costs.
We have the unique opportunity togive the district $25 million without anincrease in what property owners are al-ready paying. There would be no tax in-crease.
A “yes” vote on the bond would allowthe district to use its general fund bud-get for what matters the most — teach-ers, support staff, administrators and allthe other people that make our district agreat place to educate our children.

Bond needs supportI am asking the voters in
the Eaton Rapids School Dis-trict to vote yes for the bondproposal on Nov. 2. By vot-ing yes, you will help im-prove the infrastructure ofour school buildings, allowfor necessary repairs, the pur-chase of new buses, and toupdate our technology usedby students.
Many of these things haveto be done whether or notthe bond passes — our busfleet is aging, the roofs ofour school buildings are leak-ing, and our technology hasbecome outdated. The dif-ference is that without thebond, the money must comefrom the general fund, whichalso funds everything elsefrom curricular materials tothe biggest chunk — person-nel.
With budgets alreadystretched, and the fat alreadycut, it will come down to theelimination of people — re-sulting in larger class sizes,as well as the eliminationof programming — resultingin less choice and opportuni-
ty for our kids. Since we asa community are strugglingin this current economic cli-mate along with every otherMichigan town, we need tolook to the future.
A vibrant community hassafe, opportunistic, and com-petitive schools. Please knowthat by voting yes, you willnot increase your tax rate,but you will help make theEaton Rapids Public SchoolDistrict the best it can be —and as a direct result, the cityitself will be the better for it.
Kim EstesEaton Rapids
Education is the keyThe founders of this na-
tion believed that a democ-racy must have an educatedconstituency to function ef-fectively.
They set up public schoolsto achieve this purpose. Westill believe this concept. InEaton Rapids, we have apublic school system that isworking hard to educate ourchildren and we are payingtaxes to support this obliga-tion.
The new bond being pre-
sented for a vote in Novem-ber does not raise the presenttax but does extend it over alonger period of time. Pleasevote yes for the new bondproposal on the Novemberballot.
I know a good educationsystem is a key to the fu-ture. That is the reason I sup-port this bond proposal. Ithas been said many times,“You are looking at your fu-ture and the future of thiscountry when you look at ourchildren.” This is still true.

I’m voting for AbedI turned 18 this October
and as a first-time voter inNovember I will be votingfor Theresa Abed for StateRepresentative.
I am appalled by the nega-tive and untrue attacks fromthe Republicans. My familyhas received countless mail-ings and robo calls defamingMs. Abed while she has con-ducted her campaign withdignity and respect.
Ms. Abed sticks to the is-sues while the Republicans
are running dirty campaigns.Vote Abed on Nov. 2!

Schauer good choiceI really love what Dem-
ocratic Congressional Can-didate Mark Schauer standsfor, integrity.
In political leaders thesedays, it’s one commoditythat’s all too lacking. WhileI doubt that I will be on thesame page with Mark on ev-ery issue, at least with him,you know where he stands.Mark Schauer has my votein this election. He’s the bestchoice for the 7th Congres-sional District because he’sfighting for good paying jobsfor Michigan workers andhe’s working to protect So-cial Security.

Letter to the editor
Theresa Abed is honest
We hope all Eaton County areavoters had a chance to read reporterAlan Miller’s excellent investigativenews story entitled “Negative Flyersand Robo Calls Attack Abed” (Com-munity Newspapers, Oct. 10, 2010).
In case you missed it, heresearched the allegations madeagainst Theresa Abed in the flyers(from the Michigan Republican Par-ty) and the anonymous robo phonecalls. He concluded that they werenegative and “misleading at best”and went on to objectively relate the
facts.Commissioner Abed has never had
anything to anything to do with fed-eral programs, such as health carereform. She does not receive paidhealth insurance or any lifetime ben-efits from the county.
As an educator, she has devotedher whole life to children and fami-lies. As a county commissioner, shehas not raised taxes. She voted fora five percent decrease in commis-sioners’ pay, to reduce county expen-ditures and has balanced budgets ontime. She serves on the Tri-CountyOffice on Aging board and advocates
for senior citizens.Theresa is honest and hard-work-
ing. She listens to and understandsthe concerns of area residents on avariety of topics. She will be a strongadvocate for Eaton County families.Her campaign has been about issues,not personal attacks and innuendo.We respect her for running a cleancampaign on her own merits andwhat she has to offer.
Please join us in voting for There-sa Abed for 71st district state repre-sentative on Nov. 2.
