Higgins has experience to continue to represent 4th Ward

By Letters to the Editor

Marcia Higgins, a lifetime Ann Arbor resident and public servant, has a long and distinguished record of service for the citizens of our city and for the 4th Ward. 



The 4th Ward has very specific needs, which are best met by a dedicated resident like Marcia.

Crucial issues include: • University burdens on residential neighborhoods • Traffic control • Stadium Bridge reconstruction • Ann Arbor Airport growth

In addition, she leads the City's Council in issues vital to all Ann Arborites: • The A2D2 Development Project • University burdens on the City budget and local city services • Environmental issues • Saving the Argo Dam • Green energy, recycling,  bicycle paths, parks • Fiscal creativity in the city budget

Marcia's opponent - a U-M student and aspiring politician - is simply a transient resident of our ward. He has no credentials of experience and has absolutely no stake in the fate of Ann Arbor. 

I strongly encourage support of Marcia Higgins for another term as 4th Ward city councilmember.
