In his second term, Martin Howrylak needs to show breakout performance to get the confidence of the residents right now. Howrylak began to emerge during the millage issue by authoring a letter to residents indicating support of a "No" vote, a very dangerous decision given the prior momentum of council. Now in order to strengthen his image with residents, he should move visibly into the Beltramini camp and support her efforts to redefine the ideology and direction of council. It would be a positive step for these two council members to begin producing a united front. Beltramini who is already supported by multiple groups would most likely not face any recall potential but the options are all on the table for the remaining council members including the three most recent electees. Others may be rewarded who tend to swing in both directions like Mary Kerwin and Maureen McGinnis if they realize that the tide is changing and two others need to start showing an attitude more in line with the conservative approach to city government if they want to keep themselves out of the recall sights of groups like Troy Citizens United, the Oakland County Tea Party and others.
