Coleman and Witchie vie for Ward One seat By CARRIE LORANGER Ann Arbor's First Ward has been dominated by Democrats since its creation in the early 1980's. If this voting trend continues, Democrat Ain Marie Coleman will win a city council seat on April 6th. Candidates in the First Ward are concerned with increasing crime rates and creating affordable housing. Republican candidate Ronald Witchie, a environmental technician with Chester Engineers, and Coleman, a campus minister at the Guild House, differ on ways to solve these problems. Witchie recently told the Chamber of Commerce that the city needs more police officers to combat the crime problem, but his opponent said the city needs to } better control its youth and institute additional neighborhood watch programs Witchie also suggests a departmental reorganization so officers are not tied up with administrative work, which hinders patrol efforts. Coleman does not support hiring additional officers, although she sees an alarming amount of breaking and entering in the First Ward. "Neighborhood watch is an appropriate way to deal with breaking and entering," said Coleman. "We need to watch out for our neighbors; hiring more police won't prevent breaking and entering." Police Chief William Corbett requested 42 aditional officers before the city council last month. Coleman,han advocate of affordable housing, said it is important for people who work in the area to be able to afford to live here. She also said the University should build more housing for students. Coleman favors Proposal B, asking residents to vote on a tax increase subsidizing builder's costs for 400 low-cost housing units. Witchie doesn't favor the proposal. He said the city has many housing projects planned or underway and; if the millage passes, it will further burden the majority of citizens and raise the cost of owning or renting a home. He also criticized the lack of planning for allocating the funds, because he said there is no site plan or contractor yet. The proposal calls for the creation of a board to oversee construction. Coleman countered, "The. Republicans have steadfastly refused to read the copy on the housing millage... The plan calls for a board to administer the money." Campbell, By CARRIE LORANGER Third Ward voters in next week's city elections will have to choose between two city council candidates who disagree on almost every major issue. Republican Isaac-Jacobein Campbell, a bank manager for First of America and a member of the Central America Sister City Task Force, holds many conservative views, while two-term incumbent Jeff Epton is a Social Democrat who initiates many of the projects backed by his party. Epton has been a popular coun- cilmember, working with members from both parties on low-income housing projects and a pay equity study to determine if there is discrimination in the city's hiring practices. Epton supports the proposed housing millage, which would increase property taxes to generate $4 million over the next five years. These funds would be used to subsidize building costs and make houses cheaper, thereby preserving the community, Epton said. Campbell said he doesn't support the millage because there are no concrete plans for the funds. "There is no builder, no site, and no backing," said Campbell in a recent appearance at the Forest Hills Cooperative. To tackle the city's rising crime rate, Campbell backs Police .Chief The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, April 1, 1987 - Page 5 Epton differ in views William Corbett's request to hire more police, while Epton says were are less expensive ways to curb city crime. Epton proposed hiring more park rangers at nearly half the salary of a police officer. Although rangers can't make arrests, he said having more of them on the lookout for crime would aid crime prevention. Campbell favors hiring more police, saying that police cannot be overworked if they are to be effective. He said the police chief is the best qualified to assess the needs of the police department. "Let the experts worry about how to run their departments," said Campbell.
