00:00:00,78 --> 00:00:05,39
Hello I'm Jack Eaton and I'm running for
mayor of Ann Arbor I've lived in Ann Arbor

2
00:00:05,40 --> 00:00:09,04
for thirty three years my wife and I have
lived in the Dicken neighborhood for

3
00:00:09,05 --> 00:00:13,59
twenty years where we raised our kids I've
had the privilege of representing the

4
00:00:13,60 --> 00:00:18,58
Fourth Ward and city council since two
thousand and thirteen I spent my legal

5
00:00:18,59 --> 00:00:24,56
career representing labor unions and their
members not corporations I care deeply

6
00:00:24,57 --> 00:00:29,53
about working people and their ability
to afford to live in our city the two

7
00:00:29,54 --> 00:00:33,30
thousand and eighteen mayoral election is
an important one because for the first

8
00:00:33,30 --> 00:00:36,07
time residents will be
electing their mayor for

9
00:00:36,08 --> 00:00:41,85
a four year term voters need to ask themselves
which candidate deserves their trust

10
00:00:41,86 --> 00:00:44,83
to be responsive to their concerns I have

11
00:00:44,84 --> 00:00:48,53
a strong record of listening to residents
and representing their common sense

12
00:00:48,54 --> 00:00:54,44
priorities this election provides an
important choice between promises and

13
00:00:54,45 --> 00:00:59,09
leadership the incumbent has served
for nine and a half years as part of

14
00:00:59,10 --> 00:01:03,88
a city council majority that failed to
address the same problems he now promises to

15
00:01:03,89 --> 00:01:08,95
fix as mayor I will demonstrate the leadership
necessary to resolve those problems

16
00:01:10,00 --> 00:01:14,63
as your next mayor I will fix the city
streets faster and better than proposed by

17
00:01:14,64 --> 00:01:19,35
the incumbent resident should not be asked
to rate eight years to recover from the

18
00:01:19,36 --> 00:01:25,46
city's failure to maintain its roads as
your next mayor I will pursue neighborhood

19
00:01:25,47 --> 00:01:30,72
friendly development the city can that
satisfy the demand for affordable housing by

20
00:01:30,73 --> 00:01:36,62
supplying luxury apartments and expensive
condominiums as your mayor I will restore

21
00:01:36,63 --> 00:01:42,53
an arbors role as environmental leader
it's inexcusable that Ann Arbor Once

22
00:01:42,54 --> 00:01:48,50
a leader in consumer recycling has allowed
its recycling program to fail it's

23
00:01:48,51 --> 00:01:53,13
inexplicable that Ann Arbor has not led
the effort to involve the US E.T.A.

24
00:01:53,47 --> 00:01:58,56
In the Gelman Dayaks and soon disaster
as you may or I will end our practice of

25
00:01:58,64 --> 00:02:03,99
hiring unnecessarily expensive consultants.
Ann Arbor has sufficient intellectual

26
00:02:04,00 --> 00:02:09,87
capital to create citizen advisory boards
instead of hiring consultants as your

27
00:02:09,88 --> 00:02:11,14
next mayor I will be

28
00:02:11,15 --> 00:02:17,67
a good steward of your tax dollars and
unicycle fees as an example in contrast to

29
00:02:17,68 --> 00:02:23,98
the incumbent I recently voted against
the increase in residential water as

30
00:02:23,99 --> 00:02:29,17
a culture number I have championed
transparency accountability responsiveness and

31
00:02:29,18 --> 00:02:33,65
community values as your next mayor I
will continue to be guided by those

32
00:02:33,66 --> 00:02:40,50
principles Please visit my Web site to learn

33
