I am writing to support both Tecumseh Public Schools (TPS) bond issues.  Clearly, Tecumseh, Lenawee County, and Michigan are facing difficult times.  These bond issues will not only help keep and improve the collective TPS environment and safety, but it will help many of our local citizens in a time when many can truly use the help.  

I am very concerned regarding the manner in which a Tecumseh police officer handled what should have been an “animal control” issue last Easter evening.

A friend and I were taking a walk on Red Mill Drive at approximately 6 p.m. when a police cruiser drove up from behind us and parked at the curb a few houses ahead. He opened his trunk and took out a noose. The homeonwer greeted him in the driveway, and the two of them began perusing the bushes in front of the homeowner’s house.

As a former resident of Tecumseh and a former Tecumseh City Councilman, I was wondering whether there are any photos of Tecumseh available online. I am currently living/working in Jinan China (3rd time out of retirement. I’ll get it right yet!) a city of about 5 million urban and 6 million rural which is located in the Shangdong Province about half way between Shanghai and Beijing. I’m working for an American company as a consultant to a Chinese company supplying parts to several American companies.

U.S. Congressman Tim Walberg, R-Tipton, recently completed a series of Town Hall Meetings across Michigan’s 7th Congressional District in keeping with his campaign promise of staying in touch with his constituents to listen to their views on important issues. Such meetings also allow him make good on another promise — that he would not allow Washington to become him. The Congressman still spends most weekends at home in Tipton, making the commute to his Capitol offices each week in approximately two hours, counting drive time to the airport and time in the air.

Tecumseh Public School currently is reviewing an option to bring a Young Fives program to the district as early as next fall. Sutton Elementary School Principal Deb Langmeyer outlined a plan that would allow children who are not yet developmentally ready for regular kindergarten to attend classes geared toward their unique needs.
