Wow the number of lies and purely misinformation in that list is amazing. Just addressing the first is clear, the city jail is costing more than the impound lot is making, and the impound lot itself is in the red. They are just hiding that by splitting the cost departments so that is appears to be in the black.
I see several purchased endorsements, basically all the unions and the pastors are merely selling their endorsements, and the city council, LOL, they are some of the slaves that Tamara Edwards was referring to, especially Buchanon!
The State worked to help keep jobs in the area, Dons total contribution was showing up for the press conference. Delphi kept jobs here because of contract and the UAW, the city did nothing to make that happen.
Other endorsements filled with humor are Flint Police Community Services Bureau and the Flint Police Society of Afro-American Police. The CSB is a handpicked group of 5 officers, one of whom already used city property to have sex on duty, and all had their pay doubled by Don Williamson. And the actual African Amercian Police group has not backed the Don, the FPSAA is 1 person LOL.
I could go on, but the Don has no friends that he is not paying, even Patsy would be gone if not for how much the divorce would cost her. |
