Gilreast has said he was Weaver's campaign manager, but he never contributed to her campaign. Woodrow was not accepting donations in 2015 for his PAC. However there are some $500 reimbursements for Stanley and refreshment costs with no fund raisers shown. What was Gilcreast reimbursed for and why did Stanley need so many postal expenses? If Stanley attended Weavers fundraisers, what did they discuss?
Oakes won her campaigns by large margins usually over 70% of the vote. Did he recommend Oakes to Weaver? |

FLINT, MI – A recall petition has been filed to remove Mayor Karen Weaver from office.
Flint resident Alex Harris filed the petition language with the Genesee County Clerk's office on Nov. 15 saying Weaver failed to pay her water bills and pushed the hiring of a trash company that is under federal investigation to haul Flint's trash.
"It's been abundantly clear that this is a corrupt and incompetent administration," Harris said. "On the level that's certainly as troubling as it was with Don Williamson and Woodrow Stanley and it's clear that the taxpayers of Flint have not been served the way they should be under her leadership."
Harris was involved in recall efforts against former mayors Don Williamson and Woodrow Stanley. Williamson resigned and Stanley was recalled in 2002.
Harris, has who has been vocal in Flint City Council meetings regarding his opposition to Weaver's push to hire Rizzo Environmental Services to haul Flint's trash, outlined five things in his petition submission as to why the language should be approved.
The language reads:
KAREN WEAVER SHALL BE REMOVED FROM THE OFFICE OF MAYOR OF FLINT FOR: *VIOLATING THE PUBLIC TRUST * ABUSE OF OFFICE * MISAPPROPRIATION OF PUBLIC/TAXPAYER MONIES. *** Specifically: (1) Failure to pay her own personal water bills, even while publically promoting the importance of Flint resident paying their own water bills. (2) Requiring Flint Police Officer to serve as her personal bodyguards (3) Violating Flint's City Charter & laws by illegally spending Fifty-thousand dollars ($50,000) of taxpayer monies without City Council knowledge or approval in order to pay-off disgruntled City Attorney who threatened to expose her, "violations of local laws." (City Ordinances) (4) Violating City Law by proposing and ultimately awarding a garbage contract to Rizzo Environmental Services without the required approval and consent of the Flint City Council. (5) Creating unnecessary and unjustified costs to citizens and taxpayers during a period that had two competing companies simultaneously collecting garbage in the city of Flint.
If it isn't approved by the three-person Board of Electors, Weaver will still be able to appeal the decision in court. If the language makes it through court then Harris will have the task of getting enough signatures to move forward with putting Weaver's recall on the ballot.
Weaver declined to comment on the issue.
Harris will have 60 days to collect signatures.
Genesee County Clerk John Gleason, who is part of the Board of Electors along with Deb Cherry and Chief Probate Jennie Barkey, says if the language is approved and Harris follows through with collecting signatures, the issue would be taken to the Flint City Council election next year.
The Board of Electors is set to review the language on Nov. 29. |

This doesn't make sense because if it isn't approved than Harris has to start all over. |

(1) I am not sure, but that line of reasoning may have been determined to be unconstitutional. [Home Rule Act - Act 279 of 1909 117.5 (f)]
NOTE: Harris defended Jackie Poplar who was behind in her property taxes and in bankruptcy.
(2) She wasn't in town that much to need a lot of bodyguards and with all of the illegal intrusions of strangers and thefts into the Mayor's office, she needs some protection. Walling alleged threats and had Petrich and offices guarding him in City Hall and had police guarding his home. Stanley also had police guards.
(4) Just because Council over rode Waver's veto, doesn't mean they can write their own contract. Even RTAB didn't agree with that concept as the language of the contract was not valid.
(5) That deal was a mess and both sides were wrong. RTAB already ruled on this. |

The American Lawyer
Flint Taps Foley & Lardner Following City Attorney Allegations
Jennifer Henderson, The Am Law Daily
June 14, 2016
Flint, Michigan
(DenisTangneyJr/iStockphoto).
Foley & Lardner was retained by the troubled city of Flint, Michigan, earlier this year to look into allegations made by former Interim City Attorney Anthony Chubb.
The Flint Journal reported Monday on documents obtained under a Freedom of Information Act request indicating that Foley & Lardner was hired on March 29 by current City Attorney Stacy Erwin Oakes for a fee of up to $5,000. The documents did not detail what the allegations made by Chubb were, according to the newspaper, and a spokeswoman for Foley & Lardner did not return a request for comment on the matter Tuesday.
Chubb took the reins as interim city attorney at the beginning of the year following the resignation of Peter Bade, who departed in December for a position at Flint’s Hurley Medical Center. In March, Flint Mayor Karen Weaver named Stacy Erwin Oakes as city attorney, after which Chubb stayed on a deputy chief legal officer until he stepped down on June 10. The Flint Journal noted that Erwin Oakes started her new role one day before Foley & Lardner’s hiring.
An email sent to Chubb at his Flint government email address was not returned Tuesday, although his voicemail stated that he was no longer employed by the city and directed all inquiries to the city attorney’s office. Oakes did not return a call by press time, but a Flint spokeswoman told The Am Law Daily that it is city policy not to comment on allegations made in civil suits or pending litigation.
Aside from Foley & Lardner’s hiring in the wake of Chubb’s allegations, a number of smaller firms have been linked to Flint as the city copes with a spate of civil suits linked to a lead contamination crisis involving its water supply and allegations against Weaver related to water donations.
In May, former City Administrator Natasha Henderson filed suit in federal court against Flint and its mayor, claiming that she was wrongfully terminated soon after asking the city attorney’s office to look into whether Weaver routed donations to a personal campaign account rather than a charity. (Grand Rapids, Michigan-based Pinsky, Smith, Fayette & Kennedy is representing Henderson in the case, while The Williams Firm in the Flint suburb of Grand Blanc is advising the defendants and Oakes.)
The Flint Journal reported that Henderson claimed she had sent Chubb two emails in February asking his office to look into the allegations against Weaver. Erwin Oakes later hired attorney Brendon Basiga of Okemos, Michigan-based Basiga Law Firm in April to investigate the allegations. In a press conference Monday, Basiga said he found that Weaver did not commit any ethical violations or redirect any water donations, according to a Reuters report.
Basiga said Chubb had told him that, prior to Erwin Oakes’ hiring, he had also retained outside counsel to look into the allegations against Weaver brought forth by Henderson, according to The Flint Journal. The publication reported that the city had not yet responded to a FOIA request for any potential findings by outside counsel retained by Chubb, which, Basiga said, had previously worked on behalf of Flint. |

Kept finding references to Qgive in Waver's financial reports. Q-vive is a Florida company that accepts on line donations for a variety of reasons. In this case it seems unrelaible.
Weaver's campaign finance reports are a mess. Far too many entries are incomplete, usually lacking information on contributions over the $100 limit and lacking an occupation and business address.
It was interesting to see how many business entities suddenly wanted access after Weaver was elected,including a number of individuals from the Flint-Genesee County Chamber of Commerce, a number of investment companies and attorneys. Also there was a surprising number of local pastors , some giving large donations. |

Flint, Rick Snyder — January 27, 2016
Gov. Snyder puts former “Transformation Manager” linked to numerous scandals in charge of #FlintWaterCrisis response
by Eclectablog
When Rick Snyder needs to have something done, he often turns to one man: Richard Baird. Baird has long been Snyder’s “right hand man”, enjoying a position in the governor’s Executive Office and listed as his “Transformation Manager”:
Baird has a list of scandals in Michigan that he is tied to. He was originally paid from a fund set up by Gov. Snyder called the New Energy to Reinvent and Diversify (NERD) Fund. Funding for the NERD Fund was never fully revealed before it was shut down by the governor under mounting criticism and evidence that donors were receiving special favors in return for their contributions. For example, CVS Caremark, the only known contributor, received a $60 million no-bid contract with the City of Detroit under Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr (a Snyder appointee) following their donation to the NERD Fund.
Baird was also one of the originators of the now infamous “Skunk Works” project, an off-the-books” team of people that were scheming to siphon education tax dollars into the bank accounts of private corporations using an illegal voucher program.
Additionally, Baird was also involved in an effort to secure business for Gov. Snyder’s cousin George Snyder to ensure he was protected from budget cuts in 2011. George Snyder runs DBI, a business furniture company with a contract with the state of Michigan and Baird intervened on his behalf to ensure that his contract was safe.
Baird was also once accused at one time of illegal lobbying.
And finally, there’s this:
Baird was also responsible for bringing in Kevyn Orr as Detroit’s Emergency Manager, well ahead of the time Detroit was even found to be in a financial emergency through the process outlined by our laws. When a lawsuit was filed, the judge in the case ordered Baird to produce the names of the people he had interviewed for the job and Baird claimed that Gov. Snyder had conferred “executive privilege” on him and cited Richard Nixon. That caused this hilarious response from Ingham County Circuit Judge William Collette:
“There’s not one (state) case anywhere that says the governor has an executive privilege,” the judge said.
Peter Ellsworth, a private attorney representing Baird, cited two federal cases involving executive privilege: the 1807 treason trial of Aaron Burr and former President Richard Nixon’s attempt to keep records related to Watergate scandal under wraps.
“No one in their right mind in the last few years has ever cited Richard Nixon for anything,” Collette said, later adding: “Nixon doesn’t stand for anything other than someone attempting to hide a crime.”
Richard Baird was known as an “enforcer” during his time inside the Snyder administration. State employees contacted me to reveal that he was making the rounds to many departments to let staffers know that they were expected to get in line and stay in line when it came to supporting Gov. Snyder and his policies. Baird told them stories about people who had paid the price for not toeing the line. “Following Baird’s ‘stories’,” one state employee told me, “The entire staff were completely silent. Not one of us missed the threats and intimidation the he presented to us.”
Now that Gov. Snyder is up to his ears in alligators over his administration’s role in the poisoning of Flint’s drinking water with lead, Snyder has once again turned to his go-to guy, Richard Baird:
The governor is dispatching his fixer and confidant, Rich Baird, to Flint to help coordinate the state response and to reassure the city’s elected leaders of direct, daily contact with the governor’s office.
It’s astonishing that Gov. Snyder would turn to someone with Baird’s sordid history for such a critical position. Baird has extremely thin skin, particularly when it comes to dealing with women in power. He once threatened to sue then-Senate Democratic Leader Gretchen Whitmer and former Michigan AFL-CIO president Karla Swift for having the temerity to publicly criticize him.
With Gov. Snyder being accused of obfuscating and deflecting any responsibility for his administration’s role in the Flint water crisis, hiring a shadowy, behind-the-scenes operator like Richard Baird is the absolutely wrong choice.
It’s also the absolutely predictable choice.

Imagine my surprise to see Richard R. Baird of Palantine, Illinois,Administrator State of Michigan, donating $1,250 to weaver's campaign on September 12, 2016.
I had forgotten the scandal detailed in the 2014 news articles written about how the Democrats in Michigan demanding to force Baird out and alleged he committed possible tax fraud and voter fraud. The media had uncovered that Baird was claiming a primary residence on both his Michigan home in Clayton Township and his home in Palantine, Illinois where his wife and daughter reside. Baird went to Illinois every weekend.
The Democrats alleged Baird used the Illinois home to avoid Michigan's tax on pensions that Snyder enacted into law in 2011. Baird stated he changed his driver's license to Michigan and only voed in Michiggan since April 2013. He paid Clinton Township $16,700 to resolve the tax issue.

Touted as Flint investment success!
Investor sues Diplomat after financial hit, says company falsified reports
Print Email
Molly Young | myoung7@mlive.com By Molly Young | myoung7@mlive.com
on November 17, 2016 at 7:30 AM, updated November 17, 2016 at 7:32 AM
FLINT, MI -- A class-action lawsuit was filed against Diplomat Please delete me! alleging the company misled investors about the value of its stocks.
The lawsuit alleges that in multiple reports from 2014 to 2016, Diplomat showed growth and sales were up in the company when they were not.
Because of those reports, investors like David N. Zimmerman, who filed the lawsuit in Flint U.S. District Court, bought more stocks at higher prices and ultimately took a big financial hit as sales continued to decline.
"As a result of the Defendant's wrongful acts and omissions, and the precipitous decline in the market value of the Company's securities, Plaintiff and other Class members have suffered significant losses and damages," the lawsuit reads.
About a week after a shakeup in the company's top management, which included the resignation of the president and CFO, Diplomat released its 2016 third quarter earning report showing that a share -- believed to be worth $37.70 in July -- was worth $12.95 as of Nov. 3.
Jenny Cretu, a Diplomat spokeswoman, didn't go into details regarding the lawsuit, but did say Diplomat's legal team is prepared to defend the company.
"Please know Diplomat will defend vigorously, but have no further comment at this time," Cretu said in an email statement.
She did not say what, if any, link the resignations had with the quarterly report.
The Flint-based company announced Oct. 25 that President Gary Kadlec would retire on Dec. 31 and Paul Urick was to take on the role effective Nov. 1. Chief Financial Officer Sean Whelan was also to step down effective Dec. 31 to "spend more time with his family," according to the release.
Whelan's resignation also came with a severance agreement that included a $250,000 lump-sum payment.
Diplomat CEO and Chairman Phil Hagerman said at the time that Kadlec and Whelan helped position the company for growth during their time with the company.
The lawsuit further alleges that Diplomat's top management knew about the false reports, and even if they did not, they had a responsibility to make sure they were accurate.
"Defendants had actual knowledge of the misrepresentations and/or omissions of material facts set forth herein, or acted with reckless disregard for the truth in that they failed to ascertain and to disclose such facts, even though such facts were available to them," the lawsuit reads.
Diplomat's legal team had not filed a response to the lawsuit with the court as of Wednesday, Nov. 16.
Diplomat opened as a neighborhood Please delete me! in 1975. Today, it has a national customer base and focuses on medication management for chronic and long-term conditions, according to its website. |

The battle is on . Here is Eric mays in support of Weaver. Weaver should know she has to treat this recall as a campaign without he election campaign. Maybe someone will come to her rescue like Dean Yeotis and Friends did for Jackie Poplar. They paid for a handwriting expert to discredit the signatures, but she never reported the in-kind contributions.
There are a HANDFUL OF POLITICAL OPERATIVES that must be identified. The people I identify in this POST are not to be trusted, in my POLITICAL OPINION. As a City of Flint ELECTED POLITICAL LEADER I feel a RESPONSIBILITY to share this information. This list will not include all of those I feel the good residents should be very cautious of, but it will serve as a starter guide.
Let's start with the guy that lost the last 7th Ward City Council Election (that he is still sour about). Alex Harris ....... Alex Harris is now trying to promote his 2017 Campaign for 7th Ward City Council by filling recall a recall petition against Mayor Karen Williams Weaver. Alex Harris should be BLASTED BY BOTH THE BLACK COMMUNITY, THE WHITE COMMUNITY, THE HISPANIC COMMUNITY, THE OVERALL FEMALE VOTERS OF FLINT, THE RELIGIOUS COMMUNITY, THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY AND JUST THE MAJORITY OF THE VOTING COMMUNITY OF THE CITY OF FLINT. This guy is so politically ignorant, nasty, divisive, detrimental, etc .... towards our community in these POST TRUMP TIMES and, therefore, WE MUST TEACH HIM A FLINT, MICHIGAN POLITICAL LESSON. These are some of the people he has been around lately:
Arthur Woodson (watch the people in the Woodson easy to influence follow club. About 12 of them).
Kate Fields (the 4th Ward Council Lady). This lady took Josh Freeman's place and have been lying on me (even filing written FALSE COMPLAINTS on Councilman Mays) since she recently got appointed by Scott Kincaid, Kerry Nelson, Wantwaz Davis, Vickie Van Buren and Jackie Poplar (the former Dayne Walling November 2015 Mayoral Election Supporters, in my opinion, they thought Walling would beat Weaver and are still kind of embarrassed for being POLITICALLY WRONG). They huddles with Alex Harris, especially through Kate Fields.
Arthur Woodson spends a great deal of time in Kerry Nelson's office working to the detriment of the City of Flint residents progress and the blacks in particular. He just came off a long "public" campaign running around Flint (City Hall, Hasselbring, etc..) with the REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE for Sheriff while most blacks in Flint, Michigan was fighting for DEMOCRATS. I have heard this guy REPEATEDLY call our Black Pastors MF preachers. My father was my pastor (Pastor Louis H. Mays), but even if my father had not been, I do not like this type of talk as to Pastors no matter if they are black, white or whatever.
It is less than a year away from the Flint City Council Elections and some of those former Walling Council people are nervous that if Mayor Karen Williams Weaver stays STRONG and ENDORSES someone to beat them they could lose FIVE (5) SEATS on the City Council. I, 1st Ward City Councilman Eric Mays, will continue to tell the POLITICAL TRUTH. I feel I . have a POLITICAL DUTY to help citizens to CONNECT THE POLITICAL DOTS. I WILL ANSWER QUESTIONS, but will not chase the FACEBOOK SO CALLED POLITICIANS. I POSTED THIS BECAUSE I HEAR WHAT SOME OF THESE LIARS, HALF TRUTH TELLERS AND HATERS ARE POSTING ......... STAY TUNED ....... Amen. |
