Coolest Place In Town It was a heated election yesterday in the city, but workers at Precinct Three of the Second ward stayed cool—too cool. The polling place is at Angell School, and custodians there had put off ordering more coal because of this week's spring vacation. Coal was sent as soon as the lack of heat was discovered, but it was too late to heat the building. Working on the returns while wearing their coats are (left to right, seated) Mrs. G. L. Buhrman Jr., Mrs. Leonard K. Eaton, Mrs. Curcy T. Bell and Mrs. Dan Sekaros. Standing are Ben Dushnik and Mrs. Dale Boyles. The coal furnace is one of the few left in the school system.

JCC Conversations | Attorney Mark Brewer

Attorney Mark Brewer speaks to the current status of the redistricting process and what we can do about it. His principal areas of practice include campaign finance and non-profit law. He has been involved in a wide variety of election cases since the 1980s including county, legislative and congressional redistricting, presidential primaries/caucuses, recalls, recounts, ballot access, voter protection on Election Day and the protection of the right to vote a straight party ticket.

The vast majority of the maps submitted to Michigan’s Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission to date would result in districts that are more inequitable than the existing gerrymandered districts. Similarly, most of the comments that have been received support these maps.
