Dear all,
Back in July when I made the announcement that I wasn’t going to run again this term for family reasons, many of my supporters reached out to me expressing concerns that having someone from the community on Saline City Council with a scientific background to wade through some of the more technical aspects of important decision making would be sorely missed. Well, I have excellent news to share with you. Chuck Lesch is a recently retired scientist with 30 years’ experience working in pharmacology and biotech research. Chuck and I have incredibly similar backgrounds in terms of training, approaches to analytical thinking, and problem solving where complex issues are at play. In Chuck’s career as a scientist, his life has revolved around careful planning, assembling the required resources, testing hypotheses, and coming to the best conclusions. This is what he hopes to contribute as a City Council member. I am confident that Chuck would do incredibly well serving in this capacity.
Vote Chuck Lesch this November.

Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 93 and low of 70 degrees. Sunny during the morning, thundery outbreaks in nearby for the afternoon, mist overnight.
Perhaps we are missing something here? The decision to not find a reasonable accommodation to interview Kelley seems short sighted and contrary to ensuring the best interests of the schools and our children are given top priority.
“In our view…” who are you speaking for here?
I’ll answer then - not everyone. As for the candidate, I agree that the onus is on her to make it to the meeting. Six other candidates have rearranged their schedules to attend, it is not a requirement to give special consideration. Giving her credentials and resume during public comment was a good idea.
