ment and environmental regulation
would be the strengths that separate
him from his opponents.
"They don't have in-depth experi-
ence from all aspects as required by
city manager," he said.
Briere said she moved to Ann
Arbor 34 years ago so she and her
son could live in an atmosphere rich
in diversity and culture, and soon
became involved in the city's politi-
cal sector.
Briere is a volunteer with the
Huron River Watershed Council
and Avalon Housing, a housing sys-
tem for low-income people, and she
serves as chair for the American
Civil Liberties Union's Washtenaw
County chapter.
Briere said she is suited for the
job of City Council member because,
out of the three candidates, she has
spent the longest time as a politically
active adult in Ann Arbor.
"I've been paying attention for a
long time," she said.
Briere said she believes Ann Arbor
needs new ways to bring economic
development and jobs to the city.
"It has to be creative," she said.
"We can't rely on manufacturing."
Briere said the city should focus
on attracting smaller-scale employ-
ers instead of large corporations.
"No one knows if we'll ever find
big employers again," she said.
Unlike his competition, Roberts
is not a newcomer to the Council. A
lifetime resident of the city, Roberts
was appointed to the City Council
from Ward t in Sepcember 2005 and
served until November 2006. He was
defeated by Ron Suarez (D-Ward 1)
in last year's primary.
"I think that what separates me
from my opponents is that I will
approach every topic from a very
pragmatic position," Roberts said.
Roberts said one of the ways to
improve the economy would be
more development.
