Virg Bernero is the right candidate for Michigan governor
By Letters to the Editor
After doing some research about the candidates who are running for Michigan’s upcoming gubernatorial race, I have come to the conclusion that Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero is the best man for the job. He is sincere and is in touch with his constituency.
It is evident from his establishment of the Accelerate Lansing program that he cares to know exactly what is going in his city on the day-to-day level from people who actually live it out. To enable actual residents to have hands-on experience and influence local politics is admirable and essential.
Most politicians lose sight of what they are working for, however it is clear that Virg is down to earth and very much in touch. Virg has my vote.

Can you imagine getting paid 40 million to bankrupt your company? And the Board of Directors that supposedly exercises "fiduciary responsibility" can look in the mirror and blame unions! Imagine the lunacy?! And not on conservative complaint! Not One!! And then imagine every benefit that you get from your employer and imagine some union guy sacrificing and even sacrificing life itself for your benefits. Do you think your employer would have offered those benefits just for you?? That is the lunacy required to buy that trickle down lie again!! Don't be fooled!!!

Virg has my vote. Repubs can blame Granholm for the automotive meltdown over the last 40 years which is really a result of incompetent executive leadership, and more recently the Bush Depression. The fact is, we are all better off because of unions.

Virg kisses the "papal union ring" and is in bed with all the unions. If he becomes the gov, this state is done, toast, history. Business will never come back to this state. I would rather keep Jenny than have this guy take over.

Vote for Virg if you want 4 more years of Granholm. Nuf Sed.
