ith a background in technol-
ogy, finance and accounting,
Bill Ging, 48, is running for
the position of Bloomfield Township
treasurer. His opponent, Treasurer Dan
Devine, was appointed to the post in
late 1999. The salary for
the position is $99,736 a
year.
Ging says that one
issue of great concern is a
millage proposal intended
to finance a $16.5 mil- •
Ging
lion equipment mainte-
nance facility.
"I and many other resi-
dents feel a Yamasaki
design for a facility that
maintains road equip-
ment is excessive," says
Devine
Ging, who is a member
of Temple Beth El. He
adds that he is not against having such a
facility, but that he favors a more eco-
nomical building.
Ging, running as an independent,
says he understands budgets and is
responsible for developing budgets for
several companies. Married and the
father of a son, Ging has lived in his
community for more than 12 years. He
graduated from Kent State University in
Ohio and earned a master's of science
degree from Barry University in Miami,
Fla.
Republican Devine says that main-
taining and enhancing municipal servic-
es is key to his job. He says Troy-based
Yamasaki Associates Inc. was charged
with coming up with the most cost-
effective and long-lasting building
design for the facility behind Township
Hall on Telegraph and Long Lake roads.
"The Public Services Facility will be
built to last 50 years," he says. "It allows
us to maintain our fleet of municipal
vehicles — fire trucks, police cars and
snow plows— in-house."
Devine says that he has saved town-
ship residents more than $1 million a
year by re-allocating pension funds.
A township resident for 30 years,
Devine is married with four children
and has a bachelor's degree from Notre
Dame University in South Bend, Ind.,
and a law degree from Detroit College
of Law. 0
