Go Wings! |
September 25, 2014 was a historic day for the City of Detroit.Starting with the ground breaking ceremonies for the new
Detroit District, the news regarding the new Red Wings neighborhood development
hosted by the Illich family will bring nothing but positive results for the
entire tri-county region. Our friend George gave a positive and informative
speech on the history of the Detroit District. He paid homage to pioneers like
John Sinclair who helped revitalize historic structures like the Fox Theater
and, how the once idle land will be transformed into a new business district with a user friendly, handicap accesible Hockey arena.

Vote to remove EM Kevyn Orr Result 9 Yes 0 No |
Later that evening the leadership of the City of Detroit
redesigned the contract of Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr to a special attorney in
charge of bankruptcy. This will be his only responsibility as a contract employee
of the City of Detroit. All management of City business is now in the hands of
City Council and the Mayor’s office. The Police Department will be under an elected board of
review as the Federal oversight has ended for the Detroit Police Department.
This seven member board is composed of a representative from each district. This
board will be responsible for all Detroit Police hiring, budgeting and,
discipline issues.

There is a saying that you should not hate the player but
hate the game. Mr. Orr took the money and ran like the Road Runner saying beep,
beep. He has indicated that he wants to return home to Washington DC with the family
and that is awesome. He will have the
ability to work from home and move out of the Book Cadillac Hotel, saving the
City a few dollars. Instead of hating on Mr. Orr, you want to give HIS boss Governor
Rick Snyder an employee evaluation with your vote at the ballot box this
October until November 4
th.
Before
you mark your ballot ask yourself these questions:
- Did you approve the working instructions given
to Mr. Orr to cut healthcare cost to retirees
- Did you approve the working instructions given
to Mr. Orr to tax pensions?
- Did you approve of the position of the Emergency
Manager being appointed AFTER you told the State of Michigan NO the first time?
- Did you approve the Right to Work law?
You have the power and privilege to terminate the contract
of the contractors who created this mess with your Vote. This would be the current occupants of the
Governors, Attorney General’s and, Secretary of States offices. With this
change at the top, the people will have the ability to appoint sound leadership
in all of the boards and authorities. Boards like Water Authorities and Belle
Isle will be under new management with Mark Schauer, Mark Totten, and Godfrey
Dillard as your Governor, Attorney General, and Secretary of State leading the
way.
Therefore, please take the time to register and VOTE. You have until October 4th to
register to vote in the November 4th election. That means the following:

November 4th, 2014 11:59pm

You have the legal right to cast your vote on November 4th
