Positive + Progress

This spring election season we are hearing a lot about direction, whether it should be forward, new or different. I believe we need Positive Progress. Kenosha has changed over the course of my life time, from a factory town, dominated by AMC, to a city without direction, to a city today that is growing, developing and improving. I believe we need to build on the Positive Progress established by Mayor Antaramian, continuing to invest in our community, cleaning up brownfield sites, working cooperatively with state and federal government to secure the grant dollars available to communities like ours, and assisting businesses to bring jobs to our strong, dependable workforce. Kenosha needs leaders who believe in our strong roots and our even stronger future. The Kenosha News reported in it's January 6, 2008 edition,

"Michael Orth, 35, a government and history teacher at Tremper High School, is running against Frank Pacetti in the 15th District.

"I'm aware of how the system works, and I want to be a part of it," Orth said. "I certainly think we're going in the right direction. I just want to give a little more to the community and the neighbors." "

I see Kenosha in a positive light. I hope you do too. As alderman I will offer to my neighbors better access to city government and services, so they too can be part of the positive future of Kenosha.
