Eric Plourde, an LSA sophomore, announced his candidacy for the Mayor of Ann Arbor today as a member of the Libertarian Party. Here is the press release:
“Student Launching Mayoral Campaign
My name is Eric Plourde and I am 19-year old second-year student at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. On Tuesday, March 11, at a meeting of my campus pre-law organization Kappa Alpha Pi, I announced that I would be running for the office of Mayor of Ann Arbor in the upcoming
2008 election.
I will be running as a candidate for the Libertarian Party and will run a campaign based on the principles of limited government, lower taxes, and individual rights. As President of the College Libertarians at the University of Michigan, I have helped to advance these principles as a student and now would like to do so as a candidate for Mayor of Ann Arbor. I believe I will be running unopposed for the Libertarian Party nomination.
Various information about myself: I am a member of Kappa Alpha Pi Pre-Law Fraternity at the University, President of the College Libertarians at the University, I am a weekly contributing writer for the Prometheus Institute, an Orange County, CA based libertarian think-tank. I am a Political Science Major planning on attending law school after graduation, and grew up in Lake Orion, MI.”

Texting while driving is now a crime, at least in the city of Detroit. City Council approved today a law that would make texting, reading, applying make-up or “other distracting behavior” cause for a ticket, according to the Detroit Free Press. The law only makes the crime a secondary offense meaning that a driver would have to be pulled over for another offense, such as speeding, and could not be stopped just for texting.
The law is intended to cut down on accidents in the city.
While the law may save a few UM students from regrettable texting decisions, it comes too late to save Mayor Kilpatrick from a string of scandalous text messages.

I story chronicling the history of U-M hockey’s Yost Ice Arena appeared in today’s USA Today. Of greatest interest to regular U-M hockey fans will likely be a series of comments by coach Berenson and senior player Chad Kolarik about the appropriateness of U-M’s wide range of often provocative hockey chants.
Since the fallout of the budget spectacle last October when citizens were strapped with tax increases to close a $1.8 billion deficit, Governor Jennifer Granholm has verbally pledged not to increase taxes. But “fees” may be a different issue. From MLive.com,
“…Granholm on Wednesday didn’t rule out a future increase in vehicle-registration fees to provide some of the $1 billion in new revenue that transportation advocates say is critical to keeping the state’s roads from falling apart.
Instead of debating tax measures introduced last year that would have raised that $1 billion through a combination of gas-tax and vehicle-fee increases, however, Granholm and lawmakers appointed a study commission that will begin meeting next week. The panel is charged with recommending funding options next fall, after the November election.”
Call it what you want to call it, but if taxes are increased again, Michigan residents are going to be REALLY pissed. I’ll be watching the panel and keeping the MR blog updated on any gas tax or vehicle fee developments.
Why are University mailing lists being used for political use? Today, anyone on the Political Science major email listserv probably received an email from Department Assistant Shannon Marshall-Wilhelm advertising internships for Grassroots Campaigns, which “brings together an experienced team of organizers and campaign professionals to provide the progressive community with grassroots fundraising and organizing strategies that can help build a powerful and winning progressive majority in America.” The organization partners with groups such as MoveOn.org (remember the absurd “General Betray Us” New York Times ad?), and Soros-backed People for the American Way.
And so I ask, as cliche as it may sound, why aren’t there conservative internships floating around the U-M listserv?

In a story for its March issue, entitled “Is Your College Student Safe at School?,“ Reader’s Digest attempted to evaluate the level of safety at colleges and universities nationwide. U-M, which ranked 34th nationally, received an A for its security performance. While the story claims that shootings at Northern Illinois University and Virginia Tech prompted the story, the study Readers Digest conducted did little to address the problems in those cases.
The study’s ratings are based on nineteen, self-reported survey questions presented to universities. All of the questions regard security at on-campus buildings, mostly dorms. Questions include “the percentage of students in dorms with full-time security, “the percentage of students in dorms with camera” and the existence of a “mass emergency response system.” Yet as the study’s methodology reveals all variables were given equal weight in the study, so an emergency response plan is just as valuable as the number of full-time university police and the “percentage of students in dorms with sprinkler systems.”
Since neither the Virginia Tech or Illinois State shootings happened in dormitories these questions seem completely irrelevant to accessing that sort of safety. The article does, much later, include anecdotal accounts, such as the infamous murder at EMU last year, which may have been prevented by these types of security features. It also points out that students often ignore or flaunt these features, leaving doors propped open or letting people enter buildings behind them.
Furthermore, while the study does account for the size of each college it fails to recognize that small schools such as Maine’s Bowdoin College, which ranked nineteenth nationally, are likely to have a much higher share of students living in dorms that say U-M. Since the article is directed at parents, it may give them a sense of the safety available in on-campus housing but forgets to remind them that students at schools like U-M are likely to vacate university housing by their sophomore, or definitely junior year.

In a unanimous decision the Ann Arbor City Council rezoned several streets in the Lower Burns Park area south of campus for single family housing. The change in code will impact Golden Ave, Granger Ave, Rose Ave, and Brooklyn Ave.
Several speakers including Nancy Leff, the chair of the Lower Burns Park Neighborhood Association spoke in favor of the rezoning. Leff pointed out that her organization had originally asked only to have Golden rezoned in accordance with statements in the 1992 city master plan. Leff said that the Neighborhood Association had “no complaints about people who live in our neighborhood. The group explained that they supported the rezoning to prevent future development of large multi-family homes in the area that could change the composition of the neighborhood. Under tonight’s decision structures that are currently used as multi-family units will be grandfathered as “legal nonconforming structures” until their use changes.
“This reasoning is absurd,” said area land-lord Bart Fisher. Fisher stated that he believed the Neighborhood Association hoped to excise students from the neighborhood. The Association denies such claims.
Ann Arbor Mayor John Hieftje recognized that more students have moved into the neighborhood in recent years. He voted in favor of the rezoning.
“This won’t change this from one kind of neighborhood to another,” said Councilwoman Joan Lowenstein. She stressed that the rezoning is intended to preserve the neighborhood from future pushes to greater density housing rather than to exclude any current residents.

Just in case anyone missed it, former MSA representative Anton Vuljaj was sentenced late last week in connection to the denial of service attack he carried out during the spring 2006 MSA election. Vuljaj, who at the time was a member of the S4M party, used a computer to temporary shut down the website of rival Michigan Progressive Party (MPP).
As the Michigan Daily reported on Friday, Vuljaj will receive six months probation and 100 hours of community service. The sentence falls far short of the two and four year maximum jail times for the two felony charges that Vuljaj faced.
Does Romney’s endorsement of John McCain mean that Michigan could be delivered to the Republicans?
Clearly, this is a sign that the Republicans are getting organized, and in a hurry. They do not want doubts about McCain’s viability and his ability to energize conservatives to linger for another day, and in terms of this, things have been going McCain’s way lately.
Can the endorsement of the Detroit native who captured the hearts of Michiganders– albiet by lying about the state’s ability to keep manufacturing jobs– help McCain in a state where he already has strong support, and a good rapport among masses of indepedants?
If he goes against Clinton, yes, indeed, McCain could win. Against Obama, too many additional non-affiliated voters will go to the polls, outweighing McCain’s independant electorate, and the Detroit vote will be mobilized in an historic fashion, easily delivering Michigan to the Democrats.
Similar situations exist, I believe, in Pennsylvania and Missouri. The important locks for Democrats include: California, New York and every northeastern state except Connecticut (one must consider a possible Lieberman endorsement), and Illinois, making Michigan as key as ever this year.

Residential sales in metro Detroit were up over 14 percent in January compared to a year ago. The City of Detroit led the region, with a 45.5 percent increase. This is a continuation of the December-to-December results, in which Detroit led the region with a 34 percent increase.
Firstly, this news shows that the market is likely bottoming out. Prices have gone low enough, and homes are moving again. Money is also beginning to move more freely thanks to falling interests rates.
Within the metro market, Detroit continues to progress the fastest, and it clearly has the most interest among buyers. Many condos and lofts in the central city which went on the market over a year ago saw price cuts at the end of last year, and they were quickly bought up. This demonstrates that demand is rather sensitive to price, and that a pool of willing buyers– mostly young people just starting up their careers– exists.
Detroit has also been leading the region in construction activity.
Oakland County, once the poster child of the 1990s suburban boom, has lingered in stagnation. The pace of home sales improved a mere three percent over one year ago. This can largely be attributed to the large supply of fairly homogeneous products in this market, and the fact that asking prices may not be bottoming-out there yet.
