'he 26th day of Shoichet, Jones: rematch of 1973?

(Continued from Page 1) 1
The Second Ward lies in theI
city's northeast side and con-*
tains all the University resi-
dence halls, except South and
West Quads. Although the ward
is student-dominated, even a
greater percentage of the reg-
istered voters there are ten-
ants.
All three support the proposed
rent control charter amendment,
which Shoichet helped to write,1
as well as the voter registration
proposal.
ON THE RENT control meas-
ure, Shoichet commented, "It's

a start at tackling Ann Arbor's
main problem-the high cost of
living."
"What a lot of people are
afraid will happen as a result
of rent control is the landlords
not being able to afford repairs,
and the lowering of the tax base
in predominantly single-home
precincts. I don't think those
things are going to happen,"
remarked McDonough.
With regard to the day care
proposal, also drafted by Shoi-
chet, Jones remarked, "FrankI
blew the wording. For months
HRP has been saying the
amount was $300,000, and now
its $600,000." She supports the

amendment, however.
COUNTERING Jones' objec-
tions to the proposed day care
amendment, Shoichet says, "It's
now interpreted as allocating
twice as much as we thought
it would because (City Attorney
Edwin) Pear is defining the
word 'revenue' in a way it was
never used before."
Jones, McDonough, and Shoi-
chet have all indicated that,
should any of the charter
amendments fail, they would,
introduce corresponding ordi-
nances to C i t y Council if
elected.
McDonough, however, would
propose action on day care with

reluctance because he says that "I'd like to see consumer

And, according to McDonough,
"The police should live in she
community, so they can get at-
tuned to the community's ali-
tudes."
McDonough and Jones have
both indicated that the police
department would improve with-
out Police Chief Walter Krasny
at the helm.
TAKING a stronger position,
Shoichet has said that he would
support a resolution calling for
the resignation or firiag of
Krasny.
An important priority for both
Shoichet and Jones is a c'hange
in the Community Development
Revenue S h a r i n g (CDRS)
budget. "I want CDRS altered
not only because I disagree with
the budget itself, but also it's
illegal - you can't use those
funds to run government," Shoi-
chet said.
High on McDonough's list of
priorities is consumer issues.

McDONOUGH is also in favor
of bringing industry to Ann Ar-
bor. "Having a high rate of tax
on new industries would help
balance the city budget. But
we have to be careful to protect
ecology," he said.
Shoichet would like to see co-
operatively owned businesses-
funded by bond issues, intro.
duced locally.
Jones also approves of busi-
nesses co-operatively ownedby
community groups.
"AS I SEE it, in the end, so-
cialism is the only answer. The
city isn't in a vacuum-there's
no way we can have a socialist
community just here," she said.
As to Jones' claim that she is
trying to radicalize the Demo-
cratic Party, Shoichet remarks,
"She can't do that. Some of the
recent changes to the left in her
party might be due to the pres-
ence of HRP in this city."

CITY COUNCIL-SECOND WARD

I

"That which is morally necessary must be politically possible'

AS YOUR COUNCILMAN
I WILL PUSH FOR THE FOLLOWING NECESSITIES
RENT CONTROL
As a community we must see to it that decent housing is both available and affordable for
all citizens. Continued "rip-off" rates imposed by absentee landlords can no longer be
tolerated. To this end the Ann Arbor community must allocate its resources so as to in-
sure that existing housing units meet or exceed the standards of the housing code, while
at the same time, being reasonable in cost.

The city of Ann Arbor must be a leader in the fight against environment degradation by
establishing a Municipal Recycling Program and by implementing and strictly enforcing en-

vo E

DE

IC

A city must be responsive to the neds of all citizens. To this end Ann Arbor must answer
the call of the hungry, the poor, the oppressed, and the aged. I believe that we can wisely
allocate our resources to meet the outcry for an improvement of the quality of life in Ann
Arbor without bankrupting the City. As members of one community we cannot tolerate the
existence of racism, sexism, or oppression of any kind in our. midst. How can we allow
our neighbors to be hungry, or homeless, or in need of good medical care when we have
the resources to help them? For if we do not do these things, who will do these things?
