It's a wrap for Councilman Kenyatta

[kraig]

Thank god. Now we just need to get the joke that is JoAnn Watson out of there and we could have a functioning legislative body. Kenyatta has been an embarrassment throughout this fiscal crisis. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Let's hope we Detroiters can finally do some homework on the candidates and vote in some good people. I say all of the current council can follow Kenyatta out the door. They're useless.

You have to admit...it's easier to do your homework when you have two candidates and have to pick the one you want. Compare that to an at-large system where 20 names are on the ballot and you research them all and pick your favorite 7.

"At-large voting" was one of the great "progressive reforms" at the beginning of the 20th century [[of course. eugenics was also a great progressive idea).

And segregation, and denying women the right to vote were great "conservative" policies, so what's your point?
