Favorite Quote:

"Our city is as strong as its neighborhoods. But we have to take it back one neighborhood at a time. When government cooperates with the people great things can happen. The purpose of government at the City level is to bring a better quality of life to the people one neighborhood at a time." - Bob Merski, Democratic Candidate for Erie City Council
