The Primary Arrives

Tomorrow is the day, voters will head to the polls for local elections across the area. In Northern Oakland County there's a millage renewal (hoping it passes) and downtown, there's the dwindling of 15 candidates down to 2. 

As a believer that the time for a new day has come, here's hoping it comes down to Freman Hendrix and Dave Bing. I thought Freman should have won last time, and still think he'd make an amazing mayor. As for Dave Bing, see my earlier post on where I'd like to see him.

Freman's the man for the following reasons:

- A link to Dennis Archer is one I respect and would love to see back in the mayor's office.

- He's articulate.

- He has a plan to use the Police force more efficiently.

- He has appeal to young people, a key to a turnaround for the city.

- He has (seemingly) strong ethics.

- He's an advocate for the city, has poise, and is ready to take on the position.

The new mayor has no room for error. Experience counts in this election - Freman Hendrix has it.
