As I walked into a local business on Jefferson Saturday, the Duggan volunteers were out front in force armed with material on how to write in his name. I always seem to get targeted by petition signature seekers and am almost always willing to sign their petition, even if I disagree with their view as I figure they have a right to be on the ballot. The usual opening statement by these signature seekers is, "Are you a registered voter in Detroit/Wayne County, etc? I'm white, and rarely do I get ignored even when the signature seekers are black. Which is why I found it ironic that not a single member of white Mr. Duggan's all-black volunteer force bothered to stop me. I guess they pegged me as a suburbanite.
