Author    Post   Adam F L I N T O I D Unlike the city of Flint apparently Burton's city council believes their mayor should have to follow the charter. http://www.mlive.com/news/flintjournal/index.ssf?/base/news-46/119133484069340.xml&coll=5 BURTON - City Council members voted Monday to pursue charges of charter violations against Mayor Charles Smiley. Councilman Jeff Major led the way, proposing a series of resolutions, including asking a special prosecutor to look into pressing criminal charter violation charges against Smiley for giving an employee an unauthorized raise and for awarding an architectural contract to a firm without going through the council. "(Smiley) must be held accountable," Major said. Smiley could not be reached for comment. ..................................................................................................... Although these could be "minor" and/or "petty" charges but it is nice that our neighboring council feels their charter should be followed. Personally I do think Flint could find it beneficial to have a master plan, economic developement plan, crime reduction plan and official police chief. I think it would also be beneficial to either enforce or repeal our dozens or hundreds of city ordinances. _________________ Adam - Mysearchisover.com - FB - Jobs Tue Oct 02, 2007 1:03 pm    Display posts from previous:   All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First
