Scotty Boman Enters Detroit City Clerk Race With Twice The Required Signatures

Online, May 15, 2013 (Newswire.com) - In the late morning of May Thirteenth candidate for City Clerk of Detroit, Scotty Boman, submitted double the required amount of petition signatures to the City Clerk's office. Other City Clerk candidates can file by the May Fourteenth deadline.

Boman, a native Detroiter and current math and science professor at Wayne County Community College District has said that he knows Detroiters are fed up with the corruption and waste in the City.

"We have had over 40 years of politicians using Detroit's coffers as personal bank accounts... Detroit and Detroiters have had enough. It's time for real accountability in public office in this city," Boman said.

Boman's platform is quite strong in a City that has been long abused by individual officials, as well as by the long history of bias toward the establishment political parties.

Some of the plans of accountability Boman has and is offering to Detroit voters, for the first time:

* Make it easier for Detroiters to get involved in the political process by posting, requirements, important dates and forms on the website.

* Post the salaries of elected officials on the website.

* Post the results of all local elections on the website.

* Refrain from promoting himself at taxpayer expense. He opposes putting his picture and prominently displayed name on tax-payer funded promotional materials.

* Keep all informational materials non-partisan without promoting any political parties or candidates over any others.

* Improve official recognition of neighborhood patrols.

"Detroit is ready for real change.... That is very indicative by the fact that our campaign received double the amount of required signatures in order to place my name on the ballot," Boman said.

Boman is vice president of his neighborhood patrol, and on the executive board of the Morningside Community organization.

Other City Clerk candidates can file by the May Fourteenth deadline.
