Taped interviews of over 100 city council candidates is viewable online at MiVote.org and on Detroit Public Television.
LWV members from the metro area, including Toni Tront, Mary Bugeia, Kathy Gapa and Judy Carty from our own Dbn/Dbn Hts group, participated, as well as League members from Ann Arbor, Detroit, Grosse Pointe, Northwestern Wayne and Oakland Area.
The Institute for Local Government at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, League of Women Voters Detroit Metro Area (LWVDMA), ARISE Detroit!, WWJ Radio and Detroit Public TV worked together to complete this video project.
The candidates were asked the following:
1. What specific experience qualifies you to play a leading role in determining the budget, ordinances and other public policies that will guide the city for the next four years?
2. Tight budgets inevitably require sacrifice. As a city council member, what programs or services would you be willing to cut in order for the city to focus on core services?
You can browse through the list of profiles and select which candidates to watch by clicking on their image, or search by name for a particular candidate.
