Brandi Walker did very little for us "homosexuals" with her "inclusive" Christian outreach ("Letter writer wrong with interpretation" SN 7/19). I admire her effort in arguing that homosexuality might not be a sin (and for the record, it isn't).

The four grants could mean more students will be admitted, said Teresa Wehrwein, assistant dean for professional partnerships and faculty practice in the college.

Editor's note: This is the second in a series of four profiles of the candidates in Lansing's mayoral race. Before becoming mayor of Lansing in 2003, Tony Benavides wore quite a few hats: a field migrant worker, student, grocery store employee, CEO of a nonprofit organization and Lansing City Council member.
