The presidential candidate is in town for a private event hosted by Gov. Rick Snyder on Wednesday night.
A crowd of about 200 people gathered Wednesday afternoon outside the Troy Marriott hotel on Big Beaver Road to rally in protest of visiting Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Romney is in Troy for a private fundraiser hosted by Gov. Rick Snyder at the hotel. Protesters carried signs and waved at motorists along Big Beaver, many of whom were honking as they passed by. "We're here to support Barack Obama," said Jeff Klayo of Mt. Clemens, who attended the rally with two fellow UAW members. "He stands for the little guys... The working class." Liz Ratzloff of Ann Arbor attended the rally and wore the official "Pillamina" mascot costume for Planned Parenthood. "I'm here sporting Pillamina because Romney doesn't support low-cost …

Moss Cairns clickers allow participants to weigh in on how candidates performed during Wednesday night's event.
If those who attended a watch party at the Oakland University Oakland Center are any indication, Mitt Romney is going to win the Republican primary. In a survey taken at the close of Wednesday night's "Your Money, Your Vote: The Republican Presidential Debate" at OU in Rochester, 82 percent of about 250 audience members said they expected Romney to get the Republican nod.

The results were collected through hand-held audience participation devices provided by Minneapolis-based Moss Cairns. Company principal Steve Moss said the firm has worked with Oakland University on other initiatives and was hired to make the watch party "a more enjoyable …

Nichols' decision brings the number of candidates to 14 for four Plymouth-Canton Community Schools board of education seats.
The crowded field vying for four seats on the Plymouth-Canton school board has gotten a bit smaller. John Nichols of Canton — perhaps best known as an outspoken parent campaigning to prevent the closure of Fiegel Elementary — has withdrawn his name from the race. "It breaks my heart, but of course my kids come first," he said in a phone interview. He vowed to continue attending school board forums, "but not as a candidate." And, he's throwing his support behind four candidates: incumbents Steven Sneideman and Nancy Eggenberger and two parents often seen at the board meetings: Stephanie Goecke and Sheila Paton. "My reasoning behind that, nothing personal against Mark Horvath, Mke Maloney, (both former school board members), Matt Dame or …

Zevalkink has been the supervisor's assistant since 1987.
Township Supervisor Phil LaJoy led a chorus of praise for Deb Zevalkink, retiring from her post as supervisor's assistant after 24 years of service. LaJoy's remarks were made during Tuesday evening's board of trustees' meeting. “Deb’s style, grace and friendship have touched many people in the community,” he said. “Throughout her career she has received many letters and emails from residents and business leaders thanking her for going the extra mile for them, making Canton a great place to live and work.” During her tenure with the township, she graduated from Leadership Canton, a program which educates and develops community leaders and went on to serve as the program's chairwoman and helped to create its offspring, the Youth Leadership …

The Republican party's gubernatorial candidate gave a speech Friday morning at Panera Bread.
Dozens of people packed into Panera Bread in downtown Plymouth Friday morning to hear gubernatorial candidate Rick Snyder speak about his goals as governor of Michigan. The candidate gave a speech at 8 a.m., followed by a short question-and-answer session before meeting and greeting the public. Estelle Oliansky of Plymouth Township asked Snyder a questions about Snyder's plan for Detroit. She said she worked as an autoworker at Chrysler for 24 years and paid Detroit taxes, and she's not interested in investing a lot of money in the city unless something positive will be done there. "The city needs a lot of help," she said. "And we keep pouring and pouring money into it without results." "I agree with you," Snyder said. "My role as governor…
