Candidates for state legislature
answer local questions
By
Ken DeLaat
While
public debates can offer venues for citizens to experience candidates responding to
queries from those in attendance, it can be difficult for many to attend these forums.
As
part of our desire to assist readers in making informed selections in the upcoming
primary, we asked some folks in the community to pose questions to the candidates for
state representative and state senator, with each getting the opportunity to reply. We
selected people from a broad base of interests and experiences in an effort to allow many
viewpoints and concerns to be addressed.
On
their Aug. 3 primary election ballots, local voters will see four candidates seeking the
Republican nomination for the 100th District seat in the state House of Representatives:
Jon Bumstead of Newaygo, Jane Drake of Fremont, Marc Libants of Newaygo and Scott Tillman
of Fremont. Bill Richards of Paris is running for the Democratic nomination.
State
Rep. Goeff Hansen of Hart is running for the Republican nomination for the 34th District
seat in the state Senate. State Rep. Mary Valentine of Muskegon is running for the
Democratic nomination for the state senate, but had not submitted replies to the questions
at press time.
The
questions and responses are in this week's TimesIndicator.

A Muddy Good Time
Hundreds of mud-splattered athletes competed in the annual
Mud Bowl Mania event held on the grounds of the NCCS headquarters south of Fremont on
Saturday. Thousands of gallons of water turned the courts into chocolate-brown bogs full
of spirited competition. More photos from the Mud Bowl appear in this week's
TimesIndicator.
