public safety officers over the 911
system. In two separate circuit
court cases since he has been
treasurer, he has been sued for his
unlawful conduct in violating the
civil rights of female employees,
including sex discrimination. Our
community deserves better. We
deserve a new treasurer.
I hope that you will join me in
voting for Edwin A. Schulz for
treasurer and Jennifer Mann for
township trustee. I believe in their
commitment to our community and
I know that their actions on the
Plymouth Township Board will
make people their priority.

Legislator's conduct questioned
To the editor;
I always held the thought that
state representatives represented
the people, tried to improve the
communities they represent, heard
the voice of the people, and creat-
ed laws in the state. I imagined
that they listened to their needs,
recognized their problems, served
on committees, proposed and
voted on legislation and generally
helped their constituents.
I thought Kurt Heisewas our go-
to man in Plymouth Township and
would listen and help us with our
problems. He's the representative
for the 20th District, which covers
everyone in Plymouth, Plymouth
Township, parts of Northville and
easternCanton.
I know Mr. Heise is busy these
days, busy campaigning. I see his
signs all over the community. And, I
know he has lots of exposure and
has held lots of public forums at
coffee shops and libraries.
Heise is deep rooted in
Plymouth Township. He's an attor-
ney of counsel to Hemming,
Polaczyk, Cronin, Witthoff, and
Bennett, in Plymouth, which spe-
cializes in environmental, munici-
pal, and labor law, and whose
clients include Canton, Garden
City, Dearborn Heights and
Plymouth Township. Heise's law
partner is Tim Cronin, Plymouth
Township's official attorney. He
also knows his way around Wayne
County, too. He used to work for
Bob Ficano as director of the
Wayne County Department of
Environment.
But despite it all, what has Kurt
Heise done to help address the
controversy within Plymouth
Township over our public safety,
except to basically say don't bother
me, “I am a law-maker, not a law
enforcer?”
Currently Plymouth Township is
embroiled in a legal battlewith res-
idents and voters in the Michigan
Court of Appeals over the board of
trustees' denial to allow a public
service referendum to go forward
to save our fire and EMS protec-
tion. Recently, media sources
reported the ACLU is also investi-
gating the township actions.
Heise's law partner and his law
firm are racking up thousands of
dollars in legal fees each month to
fight his own constituents.
It's ironic, when you read about
Kurt Heise's accomplishments he
says things like, “Protecting public
health is a basic responsibility of
government, and…We clearly need
more transparency at all levels of
government.”
But the one quote that really
makes me think about his dedica-
tion is, “It is critical that we have
an additional bridge across the
Detroit River.”

Batmanmovie?
No, and no, and no. Millions of
people read those comics, er,
graphic novels. Millions more went
to see all the movies, watched the
old TV series and ate their Cap'n
Crunch Saturday mornings watch-
ing the cartoon version of Batman.
The Dark Knight ain't to blame.
And neither are theater managers
who had no way of suspecting that
anybody could be plotting this kind
of horror.
Nor are Holmes' parents who
are now being investigated by an
army of journalists camped on
their front lawn or the college he
attended where "teachers should
have seen the signs" to blamehere.
Those allegations are as nuts as
Holmes is. Seriously, is there any-
body they don't want to blame?
Here's where the fault lies: With
this mentally ill man who didn't
find professional help when his
fantasies began to include harming
other people. The only blame here
is with the man who planned and
executed this horrendous attack on
his fellowhumanbeings.
The blame here rests with men-
tal illness. Now, please, just let the
rest of us grieve and try to come to
gripswith this tragedy.
behindher actions?
We've heard some of the laugh-
able excuses her fellow board
members have offered for these
actions, but we honestly expected
more from her, considering her
length of service, her credentials
andher past record.
Her failure to appear was far
more disturbing and disappointing
than any of the other displays of
arrogance and self-aggrandizement
others used to rationalize their con-
duct while failing to protect the
rights of voters in Plymouth
Township.
We were sorely disappointed in
her absence but fully realize that
her decision was a loud, and sad,
demonstration of her lack of
respect for those who trusted and
electedher for somany years.
