Flint council shunned from water talks because of bad behavior, mayor says

FLINT, MI - Five Flint City Council members say they were "deliberately excluded" by the state and Mayor Karen Weaver from decision-making meetings on the city's future water source.

Weaver said, however, that council members wore out their welcome with the state after "a fight almost broke out" during a meeting last summer.

During a press conference in City Council chambers on Thursday, July 6, Fourth Ward Councilperson Kate Fields - backed by council members Monica Galloway, Vicki Van Buren and President Kerry Nelson - produced state officials' emails, obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, and said that state and city officials decided on the future of Flint's water long before contract options were introduced to the council or the public.

"We literally have to do our own followup research to find out what's happening in this city and we're elected to represent the citizens of Flint," Fields said. "We've been deliberately excluded from all meetings ... so I think we're being excluded on all fronts. Why is it usually that people are trying to keep you uninformed? Must be something they don't want you to know about."

Fields, who said she sent FOIA requests to numerous state and city agencies to learn more about Flint's proposed water options, pointed to an email exchange between Sue McCormick, chief executive officer of the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA), and state-appointed Flint water consultant John Young from Feb. 28, 2017.

In an email, Young asked McCormick to "please review the attached document (that I threw together in the last 20 minutes) and provide comments."

"I need to get this to the Governor today," Young's letter said.

The email attachment included an outline of a plan for Flint to rely on GLWA as its primary water source and the Genesee County Drainage Commission as its back-up source.

Weaver endorsed the plan in April after it was presented to the council, while Gov. Rick Snyder announced his support for the option in May.


But, highlighting a meeting on March 6, Fields said that the state and mayor's minds were made up long before April 18, when the water options were introduced to the council.

Fields said the meeting in March was between Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ), state treasury, EPA, GLWA, Karegnondi Water Authority (KWA), Genesee County Drain Commission (GCDC), Weaver, interim Flint Finance Director David Sabuda and Weaver's unpaid volunteer adviser, Aonie Gilcreast.

"City Council was not invited, nor were they aware of this meeting," Fields said. "At this meeting, Mr. Young presented his ... water source choice analysis and recommended the option of GLWA as primary and GCDC as back-up. At this time, GLWA and the mayor supported John Young's and the state's choice for water supply."

Flint City Council says the city needs to allow more time for public input before voting on the future of Flint's water source and entering into a contract recommended by Mayor Karen Weaver and Gov. Rick Snyder.

Flanked by members of her administration, Weaver fielded media questions at a podium in her office immediately after the council members' press conference.

"I don't know where people think water's going to come from, but it's only going to come from Great Lakes or KWA," Weaver said. "And some people seem to be missing that point ... that plan wasn't thrown together in 20 minutes. We could've birthed a baby - that's how long that plan took to put together. It might've taken 20 minutes to put an email together, so if they can't read that and can't understand what it means, I can't help that."

Weaver said that Nelson and First Ward Councilmember Eric Mays were initially invited to a planning meeting with the governor and other "key players," but it "ended up going just like council meetings go, and next thing we know, secret service is called in because a fight almost broke out."

Weaver would not say who almost got in a fight during the meeting, nor the date of the meeting in question, but said that it was at the beginning of the water negotiations.

City spokesperson Kristin Moore clarified that by "secret service," the mayor was referring to Snyder's security detail.

Mays said he recalled a meeting with the mayor and governor in June 2016, but said that he didn't recall a fight.

"I raised my voice, you know me, and made my point and left," Mays said.

Shouting matches and heated exchanges - often involving Mays - are a regular affair in Flint city council meetings.

Weaver said that it was after this incident that her administration and the state decided it was best if Young attended council meetings to relay information from the water negotiations rather than have council members present.

However, Nelson said that council should have had a seat at the negotiating table, or else it cannot adequately represent its constituents.

Fields, calling the water source vote "one of the most important decisions council will ever make," said the council is looking at hiring independent analysis to assess the options available.



"The two entities -- the state of Michigan ... and the (Michigan Department of Environmental Quality -- that) have failed in their duties to protect the safety and well-being of this community through poor oversight are now abusing their power to force the Flint City Council to support a recommendation that is not proven," Galloway said in a letter Monday, June 26.

"It smells, it leaves a stink on you," Van Buren said, regarding the 30-year proposed contract with GLWA. "You know something doesn't feel right. People in the community come up to you and say this doesn't feel right. It's a gut feeling and we've felt it before. Why do we allow them to pressure us, when they, the state, is at fault for doing this to our community? We need to be strong, we need to keep our eyes open, and create a better deal that will be good for our children. Thirty years is a long time ... Let's take care of Flint, but let's do it the right way."

At a committee meeting later in the day on July 6, council voted to postpone discussion on the 30-year contract another two weeks in light of Fields' newly-received information.

Council previously voted to enact a short-term contract with GLWA through the end of September to give it more time to decide on a longer contract option.


After a night of explosive exchanges between council members, the public – and, at one point, Flint Mayor Karen Weaver – Flint City Council voted to extend the city's contract with the Great Lakes Water Authority to September.

Because Flint did not approve the long-term water plan with GLWA by the beginning of the fiscal year, MDEQ filed a complaint Wednesday, June 28, in Detroit U.S. District Court, claiming Flint is in violation of a settlement agreement in a civil lawsuit filed by the Concerned Pastors for Social Action, an emergency administrative order issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the Safe Drinking Water Act.

Current players in the suit are attorneys from the state and mayor's office. Fields said the council is looking at obtaining a separate attorney to represent its views in the lawsuit.

Weaver had to know there would be a fight when she invited Mays, the only council person who acts like her lap dog!

She will be hard pressed in court to explain why she denied Council a seat at the table!

Police prevent water protesters from entering Flint city hall

Flint police officers blocked water crisis protesters from entering Flint city hall today.

Chanting “Flint Lives Matter!” and “No Justice, No Peace”, dozens of protesters, dressed in black, marched on city hall to demand lower water bills and continued bottled water distribution.

Organizer Jeff Hawkins says these are demands everyone in Flint should agree with.

“But when it seems like there’s bickering and fighting between mayor and council — and council and council — and all this infighting than the residents are the ones who get left out,” says Hawkins.

Numerous groups took part in the morning march.

“We’re here to show support for the people of Flint,” says Tim Grey, with Redneck Revolt-northern lower Michigan, “We demand that the problems be fixed.”

During the three years of Flint’s water crisis, there have been numerous marches and rallies held. However, unlike many of those marches, this time there was a noticeable police presence.

Motorcycle cops followed the marchers. At city hall, police vehicles blocked the entrance of city hall, officers held back the crowd and a helicopter flew overhead.

Flint Police Chief Tim Johnson says the added security was due to some of the protesters carrying firearms.

The protesters had to settle to hand over their demands to City Administrator Sylvester Jones on the sidewalk. Jones tried to tell the protesters the mayor is working on each of their demands. But several protesters shouted him down.

“I don’t think they’re listening,” Jones said as he walked away.

Organizer Jeff Hawkins says Flint’s elected leaders may face angry voters in next month’s primary election.

“If we’re not getting fair representation, we should then make sure we vote people in that we believe will give us fair representation,” says Hawkins.

BREAKING and DISTURBING NEWS: Gilcreast, and Eric Mays solicit a copy of the 8,848 RECALL PETITION SIGNATURES that was submitted against Mayor Weaver. Weaver and her Chief of Police Tim Johnson are using active Uniformed Police Officers in Police Cruisers to go to people's houses who signed the RECALL PETITION against Weaver and asking them did they sign the RECALL PETITION and was the Circulator the person as indicated on the Recall Petition sheet. What angers me about this, is that this is NOT the authorized role of an active Flint Police Officer especially when their is NO open investigation or a complaint made with the ELECTION DIVISION or the City or County Clerk, and the mere fact that the 8,848 RECALL SIGNATURES against Weaver have NOT yet been certified. Therefore, there is NOTHING to challenge at this time. So, to those who signed the RECALL PETITION when a Police Officer or anyone for that matter come to your home questioning you about signing the RECALL PETITION, you ask them under what Authority and Jurisdiction are they operating under. And know this you DON'T have to answer their questions. And what really angers me and should anger everyone, is that Weaver can NOT get the Police to respond to the crime and senseless murders in Flint or respond to 911 calls and to investigate Eric Mays for STEALING and pawning the City owned Laptop assigned to him more than 5 times for his personal gain, nor have she used uniformed Police Officers to knock doors and investigate how the people feel about using POSION TOXIC LEAD FILLED WATER. But she can get the Police to go to individuals homes to intimidate and confirm rather or not if they signed the RECALL PETITION SHEET against her. In hopes to find people who signed the RECALL PETITION SHEET to say that the Circulator was someone other than the person indicated as the Circulator. AC Dumas of all people, who fraudulently requested, voted and signed his son and sister's Absentee Ballots when he ran UNSUCCESSFULLY for the 3rd Ward City Council seat in 2015, got the nerve to call Petition Circulators who he knows and asking them did they circulate Recall Petition sheets against Weaver and if so why. This information will be reported to the State Election Division, the County Clerk, the City of Flint City Clerk and ALL Local and surrounding Media Outlets. This desperate action of Mayor Weaver, the Chief of Police and the select Police Officers, Gilcreast and others is a blatant MISUSE of Tax Payers MONEY, a clear act of VOTER INTIMIDATION and a strong indication of Weaver's FEAR of being RECALLED. Chief Johnson, Gilcreast, Woodrow Stanley, Pastor Allen Overton, AC Dumas and other Political Operatives know that if Weaver is OUSTED they lose control over the TAX PAYER'S MONEY, over contracts and over city business. Stay ALERT people and WATCH how this plays out. It wouldn't surprise me if they try to have bodily harm done to those of us who worked to get the signatures or to have the Chief charge us with BOGUS CRIMINAL CHARGES. I got on the WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD, I AM IN THE FIGHT, I AM ON THE BATTLEFIELD AND I AM NOT AFRAID. PRAY FOR ME and those of us who are FIGHTING for EQUALITY, SOCIAL JUSTICE and BETTER UNCORRUPTED GOVERNMENT for FLINT. Think on this and be Blessed. I humbly asked that you SHARE THIS POST. The WORD OF GOD says MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED BECAUSE OF A LACK OF KNOWLEDGE . You may not for what ever reason be able to publicly come out front and join in the fight, but prayerfully you may be willing to share this post without fear of reprisal. Thank you

Joel Ferguson, RTAB member, donated $1,250 to the Weaver Campaign on 9-29-16.

When 7th ward councilperson Monica Galloway on March 16,2016, told the RTAb board that she was unclear on their role, Chairperson Headen gave her a brief explanation. Headen affirmed that RTAB doesn't run the city day-to-day and they don't direct the Council, Mayor, or staff. RTAB generally responds to the actions by city officials and approve the resolutions of Council, said Headen. Headen noted RTAB had been given one duty, that of be able to modify, amend, or change Emergency Manager orders.

Galloway also commented that she did not support the job description's of the Mayor's new appointees nor did she support the ending of the termination of Natasha Henderson and the resultant contractual liabilities and costs. Galloway stated she wanted the Mayor to be accountable but believed Weaver said one thing and the Governor another.

Ferguson's response was very telling.
"Because someone who really didn't respect us put handcuffs on the city and wrote a contract to lock some one in forever, you know, doesn't mean we should use that as a reason to keep them around. If we decided that we have an election and we elected someone to be Mayor, besides giving them the tools to operate, we can't use a bad contract as an excuse."..

But as the City Council, you can't say you support the Mayor and not give her the tools to operate. And also use a bad contract asa reason not to be supportive in moving someone, and let the court decide and let someone else decide what that's going to be. That won't change if you do or you don't. So I just think you should- you know, I guess I believe in a bully pulpit. So I'm ust saying that what I think should happen, because we now have the support of the Mayor, and I think it's your ob to support the Mayor by giving her the tools and let someone else decide if that person really has standing on this bad contract, because either way you have to pay."

(page 33 of 65)
Referencing the role of higher education in the Mayor's selections and the hiring of a consultant to assist jones in learning municipal policies:
" While I've been very active in education,my degree is in elementary education, and I've been Chairman of Michigan State for 10 years, so Iam into education and believe that. But also I'm a person that believes that sometimes in-kind, without having-- and especially a number of us in this room, when I look at all of us who look like each other, that some of us who have wonderful in-kind experiences that in many cases supercede this education."



In reality, Ferguson's actions and comments don't seem very neutral. In the September RTAB meeting , Galloway addressed ferguson's comments again. She revealed that Headen had contacted he r to advise her that not everyone on RTAB had the same beliefs as did Ferguson. Ferguson the made arrangements to talk to Galloway on a one-to one discussion.

Governor Snyder's right hand man was also at the same fundraiser as Ferguson and also gave a large donation using his controversial second home address. Remember how Snyder stepped in and took local companies ( and some incompetent) out of the mix in Smth Village? He replaced them with a company from the western side of the state that contributed to his campaign.

Now at least one of the subcontractors from Jackson and is large enough to have a lion's share of the contract. They have worked in Ohio and other states.

When local contractors asked about subcontractors, I didn't see any response.

Interesting WT Stevens has a 70% increase in revenue.

Black-Owned Construction Company Awarded Contract to Replace Flint Water Pipes
By Tanasia Kenney - May 21, 201707219


Rhonda Grayer serves as vice president of Black-owned firm W.T. Stevens Construction in Flint, Mich. (Image courtesy of The Hub Flint.com)
A Black-owned construction company in the heart of Flint, Mich., is slated to play a key role in the city’s recovery following a crippling water contamination crisis.

W.T. Stevens Construction, a minority- and woman-owned business enterprise employing about 25 full- and part-time workers, has been awarded a major contract to replace more than 18,000 lead corroded water pipes across the city. The firm was one of four companies awarded a contract but is the only Black-owned and locally based company to ink a multimillion-dollar service deal to carry out the gargantuan project, The Network Journal reported.

“This is home for me and my family, and I was not going to sit back and do nothing as a person or as a businessman,” project manager Jeff Grayer told the magazine. “This is the biggest project our company has ever done and as a result of the water line contract, our gross revenues have increased by about 70 percent.”


Grayer, a former NBA player with the Milwaukee Bucks and Golden State Warriors, works alongside his wife, Rhonda, who heads the company as vice president. The family firm has been in business for 25 years, carrying on the work and legacy of Rhonda Grayer’s father, who the company is named after.

The city of Flint suffered a contamination crisis after a state-appointed emergency manager switched the city’s water source from Detroit’s water to the contaminated Flint River, causing toxic lead to leach into the drinking water. Thousands of men, women and children became sick after they were unknowingly exposed to the lead-tainted water for months before the state notified them of the crisis. It’s been three years since the switch, but many of the city’s residents are still forced to rely on bottled and/or filtered water for drinking, cooking and bathing.

In March 2017, a federal magistrate approved a $97-million settlement mandating that the city replace thousands of contaminated lead pipes. Jeff Grayer said almost 800 waterlines have been replaced so far and 6,000 are expected to be replaced by the end of the year.


“The target is to have all 18,000 lead corroded residential pipes replaced by December 2019,” he told The Journal Network.

Rhonda Grayer rejoiced at the opportunity to rebuild Flint and help those in need.

“I will tell you that it is really exciting and the most important part of it is the opportunity to employ people who may not have had other opportunities,” she said.

More than $250 million in private and federal funds have since been earmarked to help Flint recover from the man-made crisis.

THE TRUTH YOU MUST KNOW: PLEASE READ THIS CLOSELY. Chief Johnson wants the people to believe that he is investigating the Recall Signatures because of complaints made by people who claim they were defrauded, manipulated into believing they were signing a petition other than the one on Weaver. So, they used one of Weaver and Gilcreast strongest supporters and close friend Lathon Jefferson. Lathon Jefferson is the husband to Bishop Bernadel Jefferson who have been closely tied to the Gilcreast for more than 30-years, Lathon Jefferson faithfully every Saturday call in on Lets Talk About It 1420 AM and The Truth Shall Make You Free 1420 AM Radio Show, hosted by AC Dumas, attacking everyone who has a problem with Weaver while he sing Weaver's praises. So let's take a close look at this news article, that Lathon says he was approached by a man wanting him to sign the Recall Petition. He said that he told the man he was an illiterate and the man told him to sign anyway. What you should clearly understand is that the Recall Petition drive took place for 8-weeks starting on April 28th. The Recall Signatures were turned in on June 30th to the County Clerks Office. Not NO time during this 8-week period did Lathon Jefferson file a complaint with the police department, the City or County Clerk Office or the State Election Bureau about any violation concerns he had about a Recall Petition Drive, that he DID NOT SIGN. A couple days after June 30th the day signatures were turned in to the County Clerk's office, Weaver had AC Dumas pay to get a copy of the 8,848 Recall Signatures from the County Clerk's office. Point you should know, Chief Johnson started having police officers going to people's homes BEFORE the City Clerk certified any signatures. Now Johnson say he did so because they got a complaint and according to the attached news article, the complaint was from Lathon Jefferson who DID NOT SIGN THE RECALL PETITION. So what could have been the serious criminal violations in Lathon Jefferson's allege complaint that motivated Chief Johnson to use police officers to go to people's homes who SIGNED THE RECALL PETITION but DIDN'T make or file a COMPLAINT. This is BULL GRAP to say the least. The TRUTH you should know is that when Weaver, Gilcreast, AC Dumas, Eric Mays and others checked to see who the Petition Circulators were, who circulated the Recall Petition, and discovered that Scott Kincaid's son was one of the Circulator's, Chief Johnson had Police Officers go to some of the peoples homes that was on Kincaid's son's Petition Sheets. One of the persons was Scott Kincaid's secretary who they asked did she sign the Recall Petition with Scott Kincaid and not his son. The secretary said without a doubt she signed with Scott's son. Then the police, went to Scott's sister's home, but they didn't know it was Scott's sister, because she didn't carry the Kincaid's last name. They questioned her as to who she signed the Recall Petition with, she told them that it was with her nephew and they said are you sure it wasn't Scott Kincaid, her response was," I think I know who my nephew is." Point: neither Scott Kincaid's Sister or Secretary made any complaint. So what motivated them to go to their homes? This was a darn Witch HUNT based on their belief that Scott Kincaid Circulated Recall Petitions and had his son sign as the Circulator, but it BACKFIRED on them. Also, the police went by these peoples homes BEFORE the City Clerk certified the 5,951 signatures, and BEFORE they got a copy of the certified signatures. And just think the tax payers money was used to pay for this darn WITCH HUNT they thought Scott Kincaid was the circulator and not is son. NOT one of the peoples homes the police went to had filed a complaint. It is my opinion that an Independent investigation should be conducted by the State Police or Attorney General Office into the Recall investigation of Chief Johnson. Because this investigation is a clear violation of people's Civil Rights being violated and VOTER INTIMIDATION and Chief Johnson is getting away with it because he say he has gotten some complaints. But to this day he has NOT met with the Clerk's Office on these allege complaints. Really!!! I am all for proper legitimate investigations, but I DON'T suppor any investigation that is predicated around bogus complaints that's initiated by the Chief, Gilcreast, Weaver and others who are fighting to save their jobs. Finally, Chief Jonson should tell the people WHY haven't he answered the real complaints about him not swearing in the 5 felony warrants in the courts against Eric Mays that is needed for Eric Mays to be officially charged for stealing and pawning 5-times the city owned Laptop assigned to him. Well it's said he hasn't sworn in the warrants before the courts because Gilcreast told him NOT to. There need to be an investigation into why Chief Johnson have not sworn in the 5 felony warrants before the courts against Eric Mays.

County clerk says Flint Police should continue to investigate recall signatures
by Andrew MooreTuesday, July 25th 2017




Flint, Mich.(WSMH) — Flint Police continue their investigation into some concerns over tactics used to collect thousands of recall signatures against Flint Mayor Karen Weaver. Lathan Jefferson is one of the people who contact authorities after he was approached outside of the Flint Public Library.
“I told the guy I wasn’t going to sign it because I’m illiterate. So he held it up to his chest and told me to trust him and sign it anyway. Which I obviously didn’t do,” Jefferson says.
Flint police allege some signature collectors obtained those signature through ‘fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation’. But some residents are worried about a conflict of interest between the mayor’s office and the police department. Genesee County Clerk John Gleason doesn’t believe one exists.
“When a chief takes the oath of office to serve his community, he ought to be able to do just that. No one else should come in and take care of it for him,” Gleason says.
He does say that this is a very bitter and emotional moment for the community.
“The issue is that you’ve got an administration that is clinging to office, so they’re going to use every defense to stave off the recall. This recall is far worse than the previous one we went through,” Gleason explained.
Michigan state law though does provide some clarity in a situation where signatures are being questioned. According to the law, it’s the responsibility of the person signing the petition to understand what it says, and therefore those signatures should be valid. Gleason also agrees that police should be allowed to approach people’s homes if there’s evidence any signature may have been done illegally. But he hopes police keep a few things in mind.
“You just can’t walk up to someone’s door and ask them if they signed something, and why. That’s an intrusion on their civil rights. If you are an officer, or the Chief of Police, or work for the city in any capacity, treat the citizens with the respect they deserve. You are being paid by them, you are working for them,” Gleason says.
If more than 201 signatures are found to be invalid it would mean Weaver could petition a judge to stop the recall process. Art Woodson, who spearheaded the campaign, would also be given an opportunity to argue against removing the signatures.

Now this is an out right low down dirty shame and Weaver and Chief Johnson should be prosecuted to the fullest for voter and Elderly intimidation. How dare the Chief with Weaver's approval send a Police Officer to Mr. and Mrs. David Peterson's home and when the Police Officer enter the Peterson's home, he asked Mr. Peterson was he ready to go to jail. Mr. Peterson take me to nail for what, I have done anything wrong, When the Officer realized that the Peterson's might be elderly, they weren't stupid. So he tried to play like he was joking about taking them to jail. But the Peterson's didn't think it was a joking matter. The Police Officer began questioning Mr. Peterson, who is 88-years old if he signed the Recall Petition against Mayor Karen Weaver. The Police Officer even asked Mr. Peterson was him and his wife forced to sign the Weaver Recall Petition. Mr. Peterson let the Police Officer know that him and his wife signed the Recall Petition and they knew exactly what they were doing. The fact that the Police Officer said to Mr. Peterson are you ready to go to jail, could have caused Mr. Peterson or his wife who have both suffered with health concerns to have a heart attack, What the Police Officer did not know was that the Circulator is the Peterson's daughter. This Bull GRAP has gone to far and it has gotten way out of control. The State and the Attorney General's Office need to start the investigation NOW. Weaver ought to be SHAME but she's not.
