Lansing City Pulse
District 16 (Mason and Leslie & Leslie, Oonadaga and Vevay twps.)
Leon Black, 66, has run unsuccessfully for Lansing mayor, District 2 County commissioner and Lansing City Council. The self-proclaimed “hardcore Constitutionalist” wants to reorganize the rural police forces to make them more efficient and is a strong proponent of the CATA and CADL millages.
Black faces incumbent Republican Don Vickers, 64, who has served on the board intermittently since 2005. The retired principal was unchallenged in the 2008 primaries, but is sticking to absentee ballot mailings and knocking on doors. He supports re-opening health-care clinics and the local DARE program and making sure outer-county residents have easy access to basic public services.
