| Since taking office, these old laptops have been removed from all DFD Units and replaced with hand held units |
Since being a council member, Mr. Cushingberry does not have the time to
put into law while serving the citizens of our great city making things happen.
An example is: since taking office, the Detroit Fire Departments technology has
been massively upgraded with a WORKING mapping system that helps firefighters
get to emergencies much faster and accurately. This move saved the department
lots of money by redirecting funds from a non-working CODE RED computer system,
to a hand held working Google Mapping App for each firehouse. This app has a future so that the app can fit
on every firefighter’s cell phone if needed.
Councilman Cushingberry and colleagues have awarded over
$55,000 in grants to the DFD for equipment and spurring a hiring frenzy of new Firefighters, EMTs, and Detroit Police Officers to protect the people. These young men and women help carry on the legacy of the Motor City by protecting it as a good place to work, live and party. As we speak, City of Detroit computer systems are being upgraded from Win 3.1, Win 2000, Win XP, to the latest MS Windows software and HP hardware to bring the City's technology into the 21 Century.
Councilman Cushingberry and his colleagues are working to
get City of Detroit uniformed employees (Police and Fire) the same 2.5 percent
adjustment awarded to all non-uniformed employees including the Council by the
Compensation Commission in July 2016.
Detroit retirees are encouraged to investigate the use of the Voluntary
Employee Benefit Agreement to their advantage. When manipulated properly by the
members, retirees will re-gain the losses by re-negotiating deductibles and
co-pays using the Affordable Care Act.
Please be reminded that Mr. Cushingberry has more
credibility as a suspended lawyer than some journalists on Fox 2 and, the
Michigan Chronicle have as employees. As a lawyer Mr.
Cushingberry has processed over 1000 cases in his career. To our count Elrick has found four of
them. We know he had to get through all
of them to find these four anomalies. Regarding
the widow issue with the car, Mr. Cushingberry, Swanson Funeral Home, and
another agency were successful in dismissing the lawsuit filed by the widow for
$20 million dollars a piece in damages. On Elrick’s star witness Debra Goodner, she
still has not produced a receipt for a retainer fee and, we are not holding our
breath waiting.
Currently there are 87 people on the same list that ML
Elrick accessed from the State of Michigan website. (click here to read the list of "sinners") The list includes Peter Hokesra for Governor and the late Rev. Michael Murphy. Since most of them did not win or died, they just quit filing. Mr. Cushingberry has since filed his report and this list will be amended to show that he had less than $50.00 owed for the 2010 Senate campaign.
While serving as a State Representative, Mr. Cushingberry
was accused of the same thing in 2008 by then Attorney General Mike Cox when he
was appointed the appropriations chairman of the House of Representatives. This
case went to trial and, the councilman was victorious in proving that the
charges were nothing but harassment and a backhanded attempt to remove him from
the appropriations chairmanship. In that
position, Mr. Cushingberry was responsible for the budget of 21 State Departments
and left it balanced when his term was limited.
We also want to remind the Nolan Finleys and the Bankole
Thompsons of the world that our young people are carrying cell phones that have
more computing power than all of the NASA spacecraft that went to the moon and
back in the 60’s. They are very talented and with training can do ANY job that
is offered to them. If these companies don’t want to hire them they will get
the training elsewhere, come back and do a better job than the company that did
not want to hire them in the first place. All we ask is that they use those
smartphones for doing their research and homework in the process of getting
their education.
Finally we want to salute the young men and women of the
Detroit Public School system who recently won a prize for building solar
heating and electrical panels. We know
that this is our future and ticket to prosperity in the City of Detroit and, if
you are in a business that uses a lot of electricity, then you may want to
consider hiring one or many of them. That’s
if they don’t become entrepreneurs and open their own business. Some of them may study journalism and learn
how to report facts instead of, creating fiction from fact to sustain a theater
act.
