Campaign themes

2016

Brousseau's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[4]

The Flint Water Crisis

The Flint Water Crisis didn't happen overnight, and it won't be solved overnight. We need leadership in Lansing that can get results.

  1. All pipes will be replaced at the costs of the state.
  2. The Financial Emergency Manager law needs to be replaced with an acceptable alternative.
  3. Local municipalities must use money raised via water and sewage fees to reinvest back into their infrastructure. The water and sewage charges need to be invested so other cities don't suffer the same fate as Flint.

Emergency Financial Manager Law

The Emergency Financial Manager played a key role in the Flint Water Crisis. However, removing the law would place cities such as Flint, at the mercy of bankruptcy judges. Vital services could be eliminated. City property such as parks and museums could be sold off.

The EFM law must be reformed. In Lansing I will propose the following:

  1. The cities and districts which are under a EFM will be empowered to voice their concerns at joint committee in Lansing comprised of legislators and members of party leadership. This will give the people of those municipalities a voice through their elected representatives.
  2. Transparency is a must. People in Lansing shouldn't be playing SimCity with the lives of the people in this state. Discussions between state officials and the EFMs must be in the open. If not, how are the residents and policy makers to know what is going on?
  3. The EFM must take a long term approach to their jobs. This won't be easy, but with oversight by the local elected officials , the media, and the residents, it can happen.

Accountability

​It is important to hold our elected and appointed leadership responsible for the quality of life in Flint.

Every couple years, our leaders must seek our permission to continue as our elected representatives. Whether that be in Lansing or City Hall, the power we have as Flint residents is we have a check on incompetence .

Taxes

Taxes are an important part of paying for government. However, taxes can have an adverse impact upon both employers and employees. Flint is one of a few municipalities which has an income tax. My opponent advocated raising taxes on Flint residents 50%!!!! I will hold the line on taxes and seek to find ways you will take home more of your paycheck.[5]
