Romney visits Marshall home




Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was in Marshall at the home of Elizabeth Sachs for about 75 minutes Saturday afternoon to discuss Marshall's economy and the real estate market , three days before Michigan's presidential primary. Romney commented on the exodus from Marshall by Eaton and State Farm among others. "As a result, you've got alot of homes for sale," said Romney. "This home (Sachs) is for sale at a bargain price but very few people are moving to Marshall because the industries that have been populated in this area for years have left and as a result, people aren't moving in." Romney was also interviewed in Sach's home by CBS Early Show host Harry Smith.

It was very disrespectful of Mr. Romney to put signs on the property of Ms. Sachs' neighbors. I understand he wanted to visit her house, but for an event that was not even open to the public, for Mr. Romney to plaster the road with signs was silly. To top it all off, the property is owned by a church and I really doubt they even got permission to put the signs up.

I guess putting signs up on church property is not so bad when you see this news clip on youtube.
