many low-income students that they
may be able to enroll in private schools,"
Vagnozzi responded in the same ques-
tionnaire. "Many of the heads of these
schools have let it be known that they
would change their admission policies
and would not accept most of the so-
called disadvantaged youth that the pro-
posal is supposed to help."
The two are battling for the position
that Raczkowski now holds. The con-
tentious race pitting the former
Farmington Hills mayor against the
House majority floor leader is for repre-
sentation of a district that includes
Farmington, Farmington Hills and
Northville. The pay for the two-year
position is about $57,000 per year; it
includes a $10,000 expense account for
job-related travel and lodging costs.
The candidates agree on such issues
as organized school prayer; both are
opposed to it. But they have differing
views on the solutions to other issues
affecting the organized Jewish commu-
nity, such as transportation options for
the elderly. ❑

to 1972, the Farmington Hills City
Council from 1987 to 1999, and as
mayor of Farmington Hills in 1991 as
well as from 1995 to 1999.
As mayor, he led a movement to
preserve parkland, and reduce density
in the community; additionally, he
brought new ways of including peo-
ple in the decision process by televis-
ing city council meetings, taking call-
in questions and holding annual
meetings in each section of the city.
As a school board member, he fought
for the implementation of a program
that stressed diversity in people and
culture. Vagnozzi is an active member
of the area's Multicultural/Mukiracial
Community Council, which works_
to promote harmony in the area.
"I am running because my oppo-
nent and his supporters have been
involved in a legislative effort to over-
turn many of the protections city
governments give to their residents,"
he said. "I was asked to lead a
statewide effort to defeat this legisla-
tion, which was called the 'Local
Government Destruction Act 1999:
With the help of over 100 mayors,
council members and township offi-
cials, we were able to defeat that bill
but the measure is still sitting in com-
mittee. My opponent is still defend-
ing his bill -- the most devastating
attack on local control in the history
of the Michigan Legislanire."
