Am I holding my rescission of the Letter of Trespass on City Hall/LPD or flashing my signed confession that I just let the air out of that LPD Tahoe's tires? Either way, it was forced! 5-1-2012

The one thing I remember about Dowland Street was McDonalds Bakery. I don't know if it's still there or not. 

I support Term limits at all levels of government. It keeps the Good Ole Boy system from taking over.

My Dowland address used to be six apartments, I used to manage it, and primarily live there, switching apartments as I fixed one up and moved to another project within it.  My mailing address was elsewhere for the security of my mail, and where I would go during the rare times we were fully occupied.  The problems we currently have, in my reasoned opinion, are primarily from having people in the same position for too many years, something our latest initiative will only exacerbate. 

I would love a system wherein you could only serve one concurrent term.  If the citizens liked what you did during your term, you could come back in 2 or 4 years.  I seriously have not seen any good progress occur in the 2nd and third concurrent term of any Ludington politician, only increasing weaselness on their part, and distance from the common citizen. 

When I ran last fall, I made it known I was only going to serve one term if elected, and do my best during that term to reduce the City Council from seven to five, more in line with what the state laws suggest, by getting rid of the at-large councilor (what I was running for) and the sixth ward councilor.  Would've been perfect timing too, since the Census 2010 data could have been used to redistrict the six wards down to five, and the Sixth Ward Councilor scheduled to be term limited out.  But I lost, and if I hadn't I would have had an uphill battle getting the other Councilors on board (except for my own position's phase out!).

I read the Creating a Monster thread. Ludington has changed since I lived there. My grandfather was on the city council in the 60s. The biggest problems back then was people parking in front of someones driveway or leaving a garbage can in the street. Just an off-toppic note. I noticed that some of the paperwork had your address on Pine Street. I grew up in that area on Filer Street. I have many good memories of a Ludington that may no longer exist.

Thanks; if you have any questions on the full story I'd be happy to answer them, or you can look up the "Creating a Monster" thread, which has a sequel, and then another.  I was shut out of the City hall and Police Department for asking for information and sharing it with the public.

I am sorry if I took this the wrong way. There seems to be more to this than what appears in the picture and sub-title. Please accept my apology.

Sure, Brian; I let the air out of a police vehicle's tires and had someone take a picture of my signed confession and then admitted it to the world.  Since you want to take things literally I'll literally answer your questions:  No; 48 years young; miming.

You let the air out of the tires of an emergency vehicle? How old are you? Can't you think of a better way to express yourself?
