FlintTalk.com Forum Index > Open chat Topic: AM I NUTS?

Author    Post   Ted Jankowski F L I N T O I D Or has the Mayor and City Council been sending much of our tax dollars out of the City? Tahoes - Shaheen Chevrolet - Lansing Tree Cutting - Wasn't a city contractor.. Garbage Trucks - Auburn Hills Lawn mowing - Not a city contractor... Towing - Burton City (personally I'm thrilled senseless about this one- this needed to be taken away from Complete But legally using the charter and council vote) Then the appointment for the Airport? Doesn't live in the city. We didn't have anyone in the city that could have been appointed? Doesn't the county have their own appointee? Are the guys video taping the Council meetings in the City? Is there a pattern here? Or AM I JUST NUTS!! Thinking too much into this? Eric Mayes has been mentioning about it being a possible race issue. I don't believe it is so much a race issue as it is possibly a good ol'e boys network. Favored by the Mayor. not because of race. Just because of familiarity. I don't believe The council has been in long enough yet to develop such a thought process.

On the recent agenda was something about asphalt or cold weather filler for potholes. This contract went to a saginaw company,don't know if we might have this type of business in Flint, maybe not. Look it over as you have the agenda, they ran out so I was not able to get two copies. What are your thoughts after reading the whole of The Councils Crime Task Force preliminary recommendations?
