City-Con c
vi ·t the gra
By MICHAEL P. NEAL
City Council candidates often
pushed to the back by the high­
profile mayoral race - got a
hearing recentlybefore approxi­
mately 20 people at the New
Garvey Movement's tJ niversal
Contact Center on Grand River
in Detroit.
Theo Broughton, familiar to
WCHB, talk radio, p ionately
admonished audience members
to be aware of their rights.
"Are you familiar with the
statute of limitations?" said
Broughton to one man complain­
ing that he'd been brutalized by
state police years ago. She
stressed the need to not wait any
longer to start to move for
change.
Detroit City Charter Commis­
sion aspirant Jerome L. War­
field, 28, talked about adding a
"youth agenda" to the commis­
sion. If voters approve a charter
change, then the Commission
will be seated to revise the char­
ter, which was last revised in
1974.

Warfield also supports dis­
tricting for City Council ats
rather than tb at-large ystem
for electing council members.
"THERE' GREATER ac­
countability there," said War­
field, "We need to decide, not the
people in Lansing. " Warfield also
said he plans to implement some
"personal ideas" for small bus i­
ne development.
Warfield' exuberant speech
called for a "voter's choice" policy
rather than term-limitations,
whereby voters can continuously
reelect elected officials, or throw
them out in mid- tream if they
are unhappy. "I'm here to repre­
sent your voice, it's government
by the People, for the people. "
Twenty-year incumbent
Clyde Cleveland ays he's not go­
ingto give up on the city and that
the incoming mayor will have to
be skilled as a liaison to Wash­
ington and Lansing in order, "to
get a better flow of state and
federal money."

"You're the next mayor of
troit," said n unidentified man
sitting in the front row of the
store-front meeting hall, wh re
pallets lay bordered on the floor
and church pe s served a
chairs. The small gathering fol­
lowed the declaration with vig­
orous applause as a cat ran
across the small pulpit area
where McPhail poke.
"People don't apply their
prejudices to people they know,
it's the people they don't know
that get it," said McPhail, re­
sponding to a question by Mi­
chael Hovesepian, 37, a
processor who has lived in the
Grand River/Dexter neighbor ..
hood for over 30 years.
Hovesepian raised concern
over worsening relations be­
tween Blacks, Middle-eastern­
ers, Latinos and hi own
Armenian peoples. Moreover, he

THE PLAN WOULD em­
po er neighbm-hoods with lim­
ited elf-government. Where
neighborhood deci io would
be mad by 12 elected commu­
nity councils, and " ... determin
how city dollars will be spent
based on the neighborhood plan
nd a mission-oriented govern­
ment, which will give the Coun­
cils and the city employees
working with them th flexibil­
ity and authority to perform and
be accountable for the results."
Hovsepian claimed his neigh­
borhood had declined steadily
with the influx of more African­
Americans in recent years. He
favors a stronger neighborhood
police presence and believes
there aren't enough rolemodels
for today's youth, "A dope-dealer
. just moved on my block and he's
the new hero .. "
McPhail seemed to ease, for
Hovesepian, a growing resent­
ment towards candidates after
he was shunned by Dennis
Archer in favor of a union repre­
sentative during a visit to Little
Rock Church. "There was good
a lot of tal -
