I'll believe it when I actually see him. Man's been as elusive as the real Santa Claus.
BTW, Sunday's Free Press has in-depth profiles of Taj and Bentivolio with just the facts, no bias that I can see....each has a in bold typeset someone saying something nice about each of them. It did explain for me Bentivolio's grudge against the Free Press; he sued them for $1 million dollars in damages for slander 20 years ago (involved case having to do with his Santa Claus venture) and was awared $50 by a mediation panel.
I also appreciate the Oakland county candidates who came out, and Oakland U for hosting...thanks to you all!
