Bruce Fealk Interviews Gubernatorial Candidate Virg Bernero

2010-03-26T17:08:00.000-07:00

The Rochester Citizen's Managing Editor, Bruce Fealk recently interviewed Democratic gubernatorial candidate, Virg Bernero. Bernero is currently serving as mayor of Lansing, Michigan. Under Bernero's leadership, Lansing has leveraged more than a half-billion dollars in new investment that will retain and create more than 6,000 full-time jobs. Even in the face of serious revenue losses and rising costs, Bernero erased more than $30 million in city budget deficits without raising taxes by making government more efficient and more accountable.

To create a stronger voice for Michigan, Bernero formed a national alliance of automotive mayors to press Congress and the White House to support manufacturing and to assist Michigan's recovery from economic disaster.

Our second show is going to have a very special guest and I'm very excited about the opportunity to talk politics and issues with our surprise guest. Please stay tuned for an announcement on when our surprise guest will appear. I know you won't want to miss this exciting interview.

I look forward to providing exciting, relevant programming to progressives in Oakland County and beyond.
