Thank you Lansing Library and the Lansing Journal . Tonight was very informative and interesting , Each candidate presented themselves well and very professional. made my mind up who to vote for starting with Maureen Grady Perovich, Saad Abbesy, and Jerry Zeldenrust. All three have been here a lifetime .
