The council includes AFSCME workers, which represents a majority of city workers. "The election is over," Williamson said after the announcement. In the Burton election, the union is backing Mayor Charles Smiley as well as Gary Isham, Thomas Martinbianco, Ralph LaDuke and Warren Nimcheski for City Council. Sam Muma, president of city workers AFSCME Local 1600 and second vice president for the Greater Flint AFL-CIO, said the endorsements follow extensive interviews with the candidates. "Don Williamson has the experience and the financial know how," Muma said. http://blog.mlive.com/flintjournal/newsnow/2007/09/greater_flint_aflcio_council_b.html _________________ Steve Myers Wed Sep 19, 2007 12:01 pm  Rushmoore F L I N T O I D Correction: Sam MUMA supports the mayor for reelection, but that is just because the Mayor has been being his special friend, hiring relatives and friends of Sam as an astounding rate. The members of Local 1600 do not support Donald Williamson.
