FreepOpinion.com continues its live reader chats with Detroit City Council and charter commission candidates today.

Noon: Raphael B. Johnson, a motivational speaker and author who uses his bounce back from a murder conviction as an example for other young people with troubled lives. His chat will take place here: http://www.freep.com/article/2009092...el-B.-Johnson-


12:30 Elena Herrada, an adjunct professor at Marygrove College, and the director of Centro Obrero, a non-profit organization. Herrada believes the charter should revise the structure of authority between the mayor and the city council, and believes that Detroiters would be better served by a council elected by district.
