You two guys have already had almost a decade to get new jobs here and improve the infrastructure. Making a career of ignoring locals and concentrating all your efforts on spendthrift projects and tourism is not a plus imho. Think about how you should let new blood in there to clean up after yourselves.

If they are promising more of the same thats a great thing for the tourists that come here, but the voters are residents not tourists. Why is it that the two canidates said nothing about bringing industry and jobs to our area. That is the most important thing right now and none of the officials seem to even care about it. We need a good buisness person in office that know how the real world works.

If Eddie and Nick, think you can do a better job, then step up to the plate. Run for office. Otherwise shut it. What Ludington needs are people with an education in town.

Circuses here and circuses there may amuse the tourists and take the unfixed problems our city faces from out of the forefront of the casual citizens' minds, but it doesn't cure anything. Be ready for four more years of visionless pablum.

Nick - Maybe you should re-read the article. John clearly states that the biggest challenge facing the city is unemployement and he's trying to develop stategies to attract business to Ludington.

Thanks JT, LULU, you need to be in residence in the city limits to run, plus, this went right over your head. You must be a PHD eh? The word casual citizen seems appapro here. Eight years of repeat terms with no new jobs/industry/$800 garbage cans around mun. marina, well, you tell me!
