Steve King Endorsed by Home Town Life - Vote Steve King for Livonia City Council - Tuesday 8/4/2015

LIVONIA, Mich. - July 27, 2015 - PRLog -- Steve Kings' message to Livonia voters about the importance of voting in local elections.

The great speaker of the house Tip O’Neill once said: 'All politics are local.' What he meant by that is that your hometown politicians, the members on your boards, commissions and councils and the decisions they render have a far greater effect on your day-to-day life than whatever ends up coming out of Washington. Yet the voter turnout for anything other than Presidential elections is usually very low."

City council members’ responsibilities include oversight of the budget and approval of all expenditures; zoning of all land; the enactment of city ordinances; and the approval of the construction, installation or improvement of all roads, sewers and drains, sidewalks and streetlights in the city.These are decisions that will impact not only the quality of your life but your pocketbook as well.

Today, too often many politicians would rather react than lead, and they would rather criticize the ideas of others than put forward their own ideas. As a candidate, I will attend every forum and respond to every questionnaire so you will know my vision for keeping Livonia livable.

I learned recently that the average age of a voter in Livonia is 72. That’s right; the folks from the greatest generation that saved the world from tyranny are still stepping up for democracy and voting. If you are not registered to vote, it is time for you to do your duty.

In candidate forums you will hear our (candidates) voices. Soon it will be time for us to hear yours. The primary is very important because it determines who may actually be a candidate. On Tuesday August 4th please vote "King"

hometownlife O&E Media (formerly known as the Livonia Observer) published the following endorsement of Steve King on 7/22/15

"King – A perennial candidate, King is probably best known as the frontman of Steve King & the Dittlies classic rock band. King served on the Livonia school board and ran unsuccessfully for city council and the state House. On the school board, he thought outside of the box and was not afraid to vote against the administration’s recommendation if he didn’t agree with it. A graduate of Bentley High School, King is passionate about the city and says he would work to create downtown space, specifically at Five Mile and Farmington."
