in Redford is $47,544 as opposed to
            
            
              Plymouth Township's $83,561. The
            
            
              median house or condo in Redford
            
            
              is valued at $100,005 versus
            
            
              Plymouth Township at $239,125,
            
            
              about 139 percentmore.
            
            
              The majority of our township
            
            
              voters, informed of the facts, reject-
            
            
              ed the ballot issue in the recent
            
            
              election because their petition
            
            
              request was manipulated by the
            
            
              Board of Trustees, rending it inac-
            
            
              curate, and they understood the
            
            
              board's actions were unconstitu-
            
            
              tional.
            
            
              It will be back on the ballot this
            
            
              August.
            
            
              Another major difference is the
            
            
              Redford Township trustees sup-
            
            
              port their fire department and
            
            
              appreciate and understand the
            
            
              importance of maintaining a full

              ax to grind.

              instructions, but I couldn't get the
            
            
              door off the stove, despite the
            
            
              instructions to “pull up and lift
            
            
              strongly.” Then the glass slid apart.
            
            
              Then the cat decided to play with
            
            
              the screws. Then the dogwanted to
            
            
              help by laying in the middle of the
            
            
              pile of cleaning rags.
            
            
              I did the only sensible thing. I
            
            
              sat down in the middle of it all and
            
            
              just cried.
            
            
              Now, I didn't cry because the
            
            
              stainless steel had slicedmy hands
            
            
              to ribbons. I seriously thought I
            
            
              needed stitches at one point when
            
            
              the gashes and cuts were turning
            
            
              the kitchen into an abattoir. I didn't
            
            
              cry when I had to call my other son
            
            
              to try and help me, either. I didn't
            
            
              even cry when after three hours, I
            
            
              still couldn't get the now spotlessly
            
            
              clean pieces of glass back together
            
            
              inside the door.
            
            
              But when I thought about my
            
            
              daughter-in-law coming home to
            
            
              themess Imade, I just sobbed.
            
            
              Later, when I had cleaned up
            
            
              the mess, and my often-handy
            
            
              spouse appeared, the two of us
            
            
              managed to finally wiggle all the
            
            
              components back into line on the
            
            
              door using brute force. I evenman-
            
            
              aged to find out where the cat took
            
            
              the screws we needed to get the
            
            
              thing back together.
            
            
              We did finally get it in operating
            
            
              condition, although for a while
            
            
              there, the door wouldn't shut on
            
            
              the oven.
            
            
              Later that week, after she got
            
            
              home and discovered the results of
            
            
              my effort, I got the kindest, most
            
            
              loving thank you call in the world
            
            
              frommy daughter-in-law. Then she
            
            
              sent me a thank you card with
            
            
              another kind and touching note.
            
            
              That's when I sat down and
            
            
              sobbed again. Like I said, the
            
            
              thingswe do for love.

              Every politician, in an attempt
            
            
              to curry favor with 'the little guy' or
            
            
              'common citizen' or 'Joe plumbers'
            
            
              of theworld, will tell you: “I'mnot a
            
            
              politician.”
            
            
              In Abbo's case, that's true. He
            
            
              was just a guy with a talent for eco-
            
            
              nomics and building consensus
