| I hope Ryan Eashoo will vote the same way to allow the properties to stay in tact. I do hope Steve Heddy gets some balls and votes to save those wonderful homes. |

Ryan,
refresh my memory, did the 'demolish" forces win by one vote previously?
If so, I think the key vote may be Rutherford.
I don't have profound insight into the connections and motivations of the others, but it seemed to me Rutherford came in at the last minute, after much of the discussion had occurred and he seems to be involved in the fact finding process now; so if any of the information about the FCC people NOT looking at other alternatives and presuming the issue truly is about kids access to the building, then clearly there are several better alternatives that represent a win/win result.
we'll see. |

Biggie,
You are exactly right. Rutherford is the swing vote.
I tried to speak with him prior to one meeting but his hearing is poor.
Suggest he be contacted in writing. 
He did seem interested in exploring options but was also concerned about inciting public chaos/picketing.
Peace,

Many Alternatives! We need people to pack City Hall and support saving these homes, this is the last chance to do so.

A year ago, almost all the commissioners told the Cultural people it was ok to move the houses. But because there are other ways to solve there parking problem, moving the houses would have been just as wrong as tearing them down.
Eeshoo was in their pocket then to move there houses, but went against them when they talked about tearing them down.
Will he jump back in their pocket if they go back to wanting to move them again? |

RYAN EASCHOO VOTES TO DEMOLISH MANNING COURT.
SO YOU DON'T FLIP FLOP HUH?
AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WERE UNAWARE, RYAN EASCHOO FAILED TO SHOW UP AT AN HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION VOTE EARLIER THIS YEAR THAT WOULD HAVE SAVED MANNING COURT. HE IS NOT A PRESERVATIONIST AND SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION. |

| These Manning Ct historic homes would have been saved if Chariman Ryan Easchoo had shown up for a meeting of the Historic District Commission several months ago when they initally voted to rescind their initial demo approval. Ryan Easchoo felt it wasnt important enough to attend. If Ryan Easchoo had been there to vote to rescind the intial demolition approval, the vote would have been overturned and the demolition would have not have gone through. It was at this meeting several months ago that James Rutherford had changed his mind and voted to rescind the demolition approval. This vote last night clearly shows that Ryan Easchoo is in the pockets of the Flint College Cultural Corp and clearly is out to do what it takes for his own personal gain (behind the scenes of course, otherwise why would someone on the Historic District Commission vote to destroy an entire Historic District?) |

Wait a minute. Nancy Sinclair made the motion to reconsider and Leanne Barkus supportted the motion. they are the only preservationists on the HDC.
Ryan Eashoo is a loser. Eashoo, Rutherford, Sumala, and Heddy were all put on the commission by the mayor to support the destruction of Manning Court. Jerry Preston of the Convention and Visitor Bureau is also in on it. Jerry and Steve Heddy are on the FIM committee to move the houses.
Jerry Preston was behind getting these people appointed. They were all intereviewed first and asked how would they vote on the Manning Street project and were only appointed if they were in favor of the Cultural Center. Ryan got heat from Joe Conroy when he voted against the demo in Novemeber so he flip flopped. |

| Easchoo is a loser and is only concerned with his pocket book. Look at his business practices, especially in Carriage Town and you will see exactly what kind of person he is. Sinclair and Barkus, yes, are the only true preservationists on that board! The people of Carriage Town have a cancerous tumor that they need to rid themselves of. |
