I have been accused on several occassions of having a “cozy” relationship with the Ypsilanti Courier (located in Belleville for your convenience). That’s about the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard in my life.

In a totally unrelated news item, the Ypsilanti Courier featured me and fellow Ward 3 resident and important voter, Adam Riccinto, from the Ypsilanti Symphony Orchestra on its front page for their PRIDE Day wrap-up. They even made the color of the font in their headline match the color of the shirt I was wearing in the picture.

I’m not going to pretend that the YSO’s “Ypsi Pops – A Tribute to the Americas” was such a well attended event because Mr. Riccinto was pictured on the front page with me. That would be silly, but I’m pretty sure at least a dozen people came up to me after the concert and said they were there because they saw the picture in the Ypsilanti Courier. I’m just saying.
