    I’ve got a luxurious view from my Ottawa Street office of that big parking lot between the Hall of Justice and the Ottawa Building. Before COVID, that parking lot — probably 80% to 90% full — emptied out between 5 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. on the one-way street toward Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.

    Here’s an idea. Let’s have a town hall!  Sounds good, doesn’t it? Unless you’re the invited featured attraction.

    Don’t you hate it when someone double parks? The lot is packed. You’re in a rush. And some joker is purposely taking up two spots.

    The candidate filing deadline for the Lansing City Council came and went Tuesday with the winner appearing to be Lansing Mayor Andy Schor. Despite a late challenge by a City Council member, Andy Schor is a heavy favorite and may play a factor in some of the City Council races. Of course, though, the big winner is Chris Swope, who all but won his sixth four-year term when nobody filed to run against him … again.

    Back in 1967, a rising star in the national political scene was Michigan’s governor, George Romney. The former auto executive was seriously weighing a presidential bid, and he had support … until … . Romney explained his change of heart on the U.S. involvement in Vietnam, which he had supported, by saying that the generals and diplomatic corps gave him “the greatest brainwashing that anybody could get.” The governor stuck to his guns despite being given every chance to back away from the comment.
