DETROIT — M.L. Elrick, a Detroit City Council candidate for District 4, today proposed extensive new police initiatives including graduated and higher pay scales for Detroit police, plus retiree health care and insurance benefits. Elrick also proposes prioritizing leadership training and increased police presence in Detroit neighborhoods.
I want to thank Keith Lambert for having a conversation I am dying to have with more of my neighbors. It started out with: “I am one of those people who don’t like you.” Keith might have used stronger language, but that’s not as important as what happened next.
Hands down, Mrs. Taylor is one of THE nicest people I’ve met on the campaign trail. Helping her solve her problem is one of my greatest joys.

Elrick first proposed his solution to the city’s towing contract dilemma October 1 in his campaign to win a seat on the council.
Your city council member should be willing to take a stand, make hard calls, and solve problems that directly impact Detroiters. I’m the only District 4 candidate doing that for you.

As promised, I participated in the Great Lakes Water Authority’s board meeting. I was the ONLY member of the public to come forward, but I delivered a message that I think speaks for all of us who lost so much in the flood.

Like many of you, my family lost so much in this last flood. None of us can afford to go through this again. It’s time to find a solution to this problem. As your city councilman, I’ll help get the answers we deserve.

The torrential rain that fell late Friday was not the first time Connor Creek was overwhelmed in District 4 — and it won’t be the last. Officials blamed unexpectedly heavy rains, but my family and hundreds of other residents in District 4 have come to expect the Great Lakes Water Authority’s (GLWA) facilities are not up to the task of keeping our basements and our neighborhoods safe or dry.
