KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — It’s just the way politics works these days, if you want to get a politician’s attention, you need a professional to do the job.
Looking ahead to all the demands that will be on Kalamazoo’s city budget in the coming year, Commissioner Chris Preadel suggested that they too may want to get help from Lansing and Washington.
City Manager Jim Ritsema says money has already been budgeted for the position.
Portage has had a lobbyist for some time. Portage Mayor Patricia Randall recently credited their lobbying firm for assisting them to secure big grants from Lansing for their new Senior Center and their proposed Farmers Market.
