Rita Dilanian-2011 Farmington Hills endorsements

Neighbors of Farmington Hills,

I have been a resident of this community for over 20 years and I have enjoyed all this community has to offer. With the economic situation we find ourselves in today, and the future we face in a reduced tax base; we need to look at city council members who have a strong business background.

Currently, we have two members who are running again, both of them with physiologists backgrounds, I’m sure they have served honorably all these years. But the time has long passed that we need new, creative and skilled neighbors who have proven records in business. There are candidates who have built businesses and who can guide our community into these uncertain times, with creative ways to keep our city strong.

Now is the time we should consider these new faces, who are not beholding to others agendas or their own. I’m supporting Richard Lerner, who is a candidate with not only a business degree, but has built several successful businesses.

In the many years I have lived here and paid taxes, I have come to the conclusion that we seem to always elect the same individuals over and over again.  This can be very problematic; we need to consider all of these issues in the next election, it is important to vote. Study the backgrounds of each person running, and make your voice heard.
