Pontiac, MI – There is a lot of excitement in the City of Pontiac, and the recent swearing in of an entirely new city council and mayor had the Flagstar Strand Theater full of optimism. Among the speeches given by the new officials, was a particularly rousing one by District 7 Councilperson Mike McGuinness.
It’s not uncommon for officials to give shout outs to people and places to connect with their audience, but McGuiness took this to lengths that left the crowd speechless at times, and filling the theater with cheers at others.
The shout out covered the district from Amazon to Arborview, from Challenge Manufacturing to Charles Lane and from Marriott to Mechanic Street. And of course Nick’s Corner was included in the mix.
McGuinness joins six other council members and a new mayor, Tim Greimel. He was chosen by his peers to be City Council President at the Jan. 4 City Council meeting.
