Livingston County Democrats showed up their Republican counterparts at the Brighton 4th of July parade Wednesday (July 4, 2007) simply by showing up.
Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers and state Sen. Valde Garcia skipped the parade this year. (See previous post on Garcia.)
But Democrats turned out with their mechanical donkey, Chicago, who periodically kicked up its heels at the bidding of Party Chair Matt Evans.
Democrats handed out candy and occasionally shouted, "No More War!"
They were followed by members of the county-wide Coalition Against Privatization, a group of school custodians, cafeteria workers, and other support personnel which is lobbying against efforts to wipe out good-paying union jobs at local schools and turn the jobs over to low-wage workers. Hartland schools already has privatized custodial services. Howell schools is discussing the switch.
Marty Dewitt says Hartland has seen high turnover in the people who provide important services to school children.
