Twenty Pound Carp announces candidacy for Ann Arbor Commission

Ann Arbor's perennial city council candidate, the Twenty Pound Carp, announced his intention to seek a seat on the city's Elizabeth Dean Trust Fund in a tweetstorm last night. The fund supports public trees in the City of Ann Arbor.

Once I bend the Elizabeth Dean Fund to my will, there will be barricades of white pines running athwart Main Street.

Beyond bisecting Main Street with trees, the carp has also proposed establishing an Ahistoric District Commission. It remains to be seen whether the carp will be able to curry sufficient support to gain a seat on the Dean Fund.
