josh, FEWS steering is also on the 19th at 4pm. IMPORTANT, If you aren't working.
Washington crime watch will have many COPS officers, has become well organized in a short period of time. Not certain if I can attend. WEDNESDAY, 6pm.
Sec. 3-507 CORRESPONDENCE FROM PERSON DETAINED.
Any letter to the Ombudsman from a person in a place of detention, penal or otherwise, under the control of an agency shall immediately be forwarded unopened, to the Ombudsman.
(Adopted by the electorate, 11-5-74)
This is where I may be able to address council in my arena of social policy.
Jerry
I need from your tapes the names\dates of those that addressed council on the health issues in the County jail. Two speakers- Buchanan referred them to the sheriff and to county commissioners. Now if we had a functioning ombudsman the incarcerated would have an avenue to complain..? Yes? Don't get me wrong they are in jail for a reason, but if substandard conditions exist they should have someone to complain to??? Staff infections and maggots in the shower drains....Ewww!
We do not have a city jail, correct? so all inmates are held in the county jail?
I have already contacted Ted Hammon on this issue.
My point is not on the jailed but that a functioning Ombudsman would be able to investigate. In this way my board may be able
to take a position. |

I forgot that I had bought a list of likely voters for the 4th Ward when I was running for Council.... Along with addresses, that list included phone numbers...... I am willing to donate that to the group.... Also, if someone is willing to design flyers... I will hand those out to the Crime Watch meetings that I still attend in the Fourth Ward....
Potter Crime Watch meets tomorrow night, third Monday of the month at 7:00 pm at the fires station on Western Rd.... I'll be attending this one....
Washington School Crime Watch meets Wednesday at 6:00 pm at Brown's Funeral Home, the third Wednesday of every month.... I won't be able to attend this meeting because of another engagement ..... Anyone else?
Arlington Heights Community Association will meet on Thursday at St. Marys on Franklin, every third Thursday of the month at 7:00pm.. I'll be attending this meeting....
That is all of the organized block clubs/crime watches in my Ward.... Not quite sure about the rest of the City, Mott Park, College Cultural Area...

terry, can't find your original email to groups, suggest modifications.
the millage group last I knew had money for few mailings $2000 in account. One mailing of absentee ballot applications. I believe thay are not against ombudsman just strong pro community police. You mentioned Intent....strong wording
"MAKE THE RIGHT FRIENDS FASTER THAN YOU MAKE THE WRONG
ENEMIES."
"The pro milage group is highly organized and will be promoting a yes vote! The people behind the police milage are intent on destroying the Flint Ombudsmans office.
The pro milage
group is active, organized and has money. They will advocate a yes
vote."
Let this serve as a reminder to all aboard this intiative to not slam other groups but to remain positive...to reach a positive goal!

Point well taken. I reached too far into my own history where the conservative pro police interest opposed my ombudsmanship. The people in the pro millage campaign are doing nothin I know of to oppose the Ombudsmans office. I will modify what I can find.
QUALITY CONTROL
This is an example of quality control. People are watching, we must be factualy correct. We must be willing to react to the truth.
Thanks for your quality control.

| Suggest everyone place articles in the opinions sections of every paper. Especially the Flint Journal. Depending on length it may take two weeks to get published. The shorter the faster. Longer more detailed articles subnit soon or they may publish after the fact. If you are only allowed 1 article per month you could squeeze in two plus a talk back or two. If we ask for many submissions we might get a few with less modifications. |

| In almost anything we do with this. I cannot seem to see how to seperate any confusion without almost coming out and just saying. Vote Yes for Proposal 1 and No on 2. When I am personally agaisnt one but do wish to support two. It's almost a catch 22 to make sure people are not confused. |
