Gatt an innovative leader with common sense
October 7, 2011 by Phillip C. Schoen

I am writing in support of Bob Gatt’s candidacy for the office of Mayor of Novi. People enter the political ring for many different reasons, some to further a personal or political agenda, others seek to "step up to the plate" of public service. Bob Gatt is part of the latter group. His primary motive is to serve the people of the city he loves and has served honorably for over 35 years, first as a Novi Police Officer, then as a council member.

I was privileged to serve with him during many of those years as a fellow police officer. We stood many watches together as partners and I learned to trust his judgment during some tense situations on the street, when there was only one chance to do it right.

Bob Gatt is an innovative leader with a bunch of common sense, who can lead the City of Novi through these hard times. I urge the voters to send him to the Mayor’s office so that he can continue serving the citizens of the City of Novi.
