Lansing (MI) City Council: Here's my opening statement for vacancy interview

Last night, I had a second interview with the Lansing City Council to fill a vacancy on this legislative body.  For those interested, here's my opening statement:  Download city_council.doc

I feel really good about the person they chose to represent our ward.  Bill Matt seems to have the values and the knowledge of city issues that will represent our area in southwest Lansing well.  I'm anxious to get involved in his campaign to win election to a full-term.
