I just wanted to take a moment to thank all the people that I have met during the last two weeks of my campaigning. While meeting the public at Larry's Foodland and the 5 Mile / Merriman Kroger's, I have received a tremendous reception. Although there were some people who weren't interested in talking, those who did were great. Everyone was friendly, engaged and eager to talk and be heard... and I have heard them.
The common theme of our discussions were that the people are fed up with being ignored and marginalized by the Mayor and the City Council. People have had it with the lack of communication between the City and the residents. They have also had enough of weak land use proposals, overly generous tax credits, overlooking existing, Livonia based businesses and the Council culpability in the eroding tax base. The people are ready for a change, someone that will use common sense, who will cast off the shackles of 'business as usual' politics, who will use politics as an instrument of good. They want someone who will bring people together. The people want Lucas McGrail for City Council.
For those who have supported me on-line, be advised that there is a 'meet the candidate' event coming up tomorrow. The details are:
CCCA Candidate's Night

Please feel free to stop by to either watch or meet me afterwards. I look forward to seeing you there. Thanks to all of you for your continued support.
Speramus Meliora.
