Chase Ingersoll, former City Council gadfly, whose goal was to destroy State's Attorney Kevin Lyons' career, is now living in Michigan and is running for the 53rd District Michigan House of Representatives. The 53rd District represents portions of Ann Arbor, Pittsfield and Scio Township.Ingersoll ran unopposed in the August 3rd, 2010, primary on the GOP side of the ticket and in November he will face Jeff Irwin a Democrat, who won in the August 3, 2010 primary runoff.
I remember well the joy Ingersoll took in taunting City Hall when he was the owner of the now defunct Grandview Hotel. I also recall when Polly Peoria shared with all what she felt about him when she posted this In my humble opinion: Chase Ingersoll is an evil bastard, and this post ... the PollyPeoria Golden Cockroach Award Goes To.... Chase Ingersoll (of course).
A little bit about his platform:
Chase Ingersoll
Office sought: 53rd District Representative, state House.
Political affiliation: Republican.
Place of residence: Ann Arbor.
Occupation: Small business, labor and consultation.
Previous elected office: None.
Community service: None.
Experience:
12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. In the current political and social client, I would argue that this is more relevant than any other experience, offering in support such notion the undeniable collective insanity of legislative bodies and the public that denies that the vast majority of legislators obtained that status by lying.
Education:
WDYTTIR? Why do you think this is relevant? Are we to believe that someones opinion on a matter is better served by courses attended and degrees received, or should we consider that such may serve them a greater ability to lie and mis-inform the public about those issues to which they sound "more educated" and about themselves in general? Knowing what I know now about higher education, I am actually somewhat embarrassed how I naively participated in the "higher education racket" or "rat race".
Community Involvement:
What is "Involvement" and what is "Calculated Political Pandering" ? Was Myshkin involved in the community of St Petersburg?
