excerpt from a2view:

While some think the Ann Arbor City Council behaves like the mayor’s lockstep fiefdom, a study claims it actually has the β€œhighest dissent rate nationwide” among 142 cities and counties analyzed.

DESTROYING OUR PARKS | Most people didn't know about the fringe conspiracy theory that #a2council is trying to get rid of the city's parks, so we wrote an article to fix that problem. archive.ph/GirPQ

FROM THE EDITOR | Our editorial policy will continue until revenue improves. This includes labeling a slumlord a "local resident," an Ives Woods realtor a "local expert," and the city's majority of renters as "transient activists."

Whoever this Stefan guy is is obviously wrong. Beloved Local Hero John U. Bacon is once again fighting for the little guy's ability to store their third Ferrari in the street.

SNOW "EMERGENCY" | The city administrator has declared a snow "emergency" and has BANNED on-street parking!

How can the city government take away our precious on-street parking when they can't even plow the street parking properly?

In short, Aidan Sova will be a disaster for Ann Arbor. VOTE FOR THE OTHER GUY!

6. Sova says "our safety strategies need to protect and respect every resident, regardless of their background." Do transients who only RENT in the city really deserve the same level of respect as us long-time residents?

5. Sova claims he wants to bring his experience from the Library Board to city council, but did you know that the downtown library literally has SEWAGE CROCKS because of its decaying infrastructure? Is he going to do the same for the city?

4. Sova says he wants to safeguard our green spaces, yet he also wants to build on our ONLY DOWNTOWN PARK? Something doesn't add up here.

3. Sova wants to make the buses more reliable and improve pedestrian safety. We all know that's code for him wanting to BAN CARS and LOCK US in 15 minute cities!

2. Sova wants people who irresponsibly didn't buy houses in Ann Arbor in 1962 to be able to afford to live here. He wants us Real Ann Arborites to subsidize people by letting them pay higher property taxes for our services!

1. Sova has spent his time on the library board undermining the public's trust in a beloved institution by working towards a variety of goals that are widely popular in Ann Arbor. Could you really vote for someone who wants a bigger downtown library?
