Meet the 87th candidates- Brian Reynolds

At last we come to our final candidate (unless someone else joins the fun) in the 87th state rep. race.

Brian Reynolds deserves your support for 87th District State Representative.
The reasons are fairly simple:
While I've trashed the other four candidates, I find Reynolds clearly is the only one who has specifically laid out a couple of ideas that will benefit Barry County and Ionia County. His ideas, cooked down, are pro-jobs and anti-government waste and interference.
First, he is a supporter of the Gun Lake casino for two huge reasons — jobs and fairness. He believes approval of the Gun Lake Tribe's plans will result in a lot of new, good paying jobs. With the recent bankruptcy of Hastings Manufacturing, the closing of Viatec and Bliss Clearing Niagara just hanging on, jobs are a big deal in Hastings and environs. While others talk about bringin jobs to Michigan in the future, here is something that will actually help our local economy- which is why the West Michigan Mafia in Grand Rapids is totally against it.
Second, he supports the Unicameral Michigan campaign to abolish the State Senate, to downsize government and save taxpayers as much as $1 billion over 10 years.
So while candidate Brian Calley offers us more of what we've been getting for the last 16 years, tax cuts for the rich (and look where we are now), while candidate Susan Vliestra seems to think the only issues are guns and abortion, while candidate Frank Campbell goes around slapping backs and glad handing, and while candidate Mark Doster continues to be confused, irrelevant and clueless, Reynolds actually has some ideas that just might work for his constituents.
Looking like a cross between Santa Claus and Jerry Garcia, Reynolds isn't your cookie cutter politician telling you what you want to hear while raising money from big donors and PACs. He has fashioned himself as the real maverick among this quintet of hopefuls. Don't forget he engineered John McCain's presidential primary victory in the county in 2000 and he played major roles in building a new animal shelter and helping with the new library. Reynolds supports the Second Amendment people and he's opposed to abortion personally, but doesn't think it's any of government's business to intrude into personal, private decisions. Anybody who really doesn't like the way things have been going in Michigan and wants a change should vote for Reynolds. Anyone who thinks things are just peachy keen and we should stay the course should pick one of the other four. Brian Reynolds is our best bet to get somebody in Lansing that will shake things up and truly represent the people- what else could you ask for?
