AY PAC Ratings

 

Transparency

Transparency Rating (2)

Is the city or candidate or official being transparent?  Did they offer transparency and then act otherwise?  Is their agenda showing?  The AY PAC transparency meter allows you to see as much TRUTH as the process showed.  On a scale of 1-to-4, how much TRUTH can you see? A fully transparent statement or process would garner 4 Truth icons. As less transparency manifests itself, you will see darker orbs reflecting either lack of honesty or an undisclosed agenda in play.

 

Shock-O-Meter

Shock-O-Meter Rating
 

Should we be shocked by this?  On a scale of 1-to-4, the AY PAC Shock-O-Meter shows how shocked we are and how shocked we think the citizens should be.   Sometimes outrageous statements or actions are made by those who supposed to safeguard the public trust.  This is our way of helping to call those out on our website.


Look for these icons as they appear in many of the posts on this site.

  • We Deserve Better

    What does Advance Ypsilanti PAC stand for? You might as well ask “what do we deserve as citizens?”

      We deserve leaders with vision, who are willing and able to work within the process, who respect the work of others and fight hard for their goals and constituents.

      We deserve a city with a sound fiscal strategy, clearly laid out and open for all to see, one that respects the basic needs of all citizens and lays groundwork for the future.

      We deserve a process that is open, healthy and honest.

      We deserve respect and support for the long term vision of our city, and the work of the many citizens who have contributed to that vision.

      We deserve candidates who are open about their vision, who work hard to accomplish what they offered to their voters during campaigns.

    AY PAC is an independent Political Action Committee. We work to help Ypsilanti get and keep the best city leadership possible. This includes holding all elected officials accountable to their statements and actions as well as supporting specific candidates and issues on the ballot. In concert with our commitment to openness, we will post our stances on issues and candidates here for all to read. You will never wonder who generated what statement, or who we support, or why. We look forward to helping Ypsilanti get and stay on a strong path heading into a vibrant future! Thank you for reading.
