the sad fact is that no matter what pollitical side you support, Flint has become (more-so now than ever) a city divided.
the ellection was very close. Dayne may have lost, but the votes painted a clear picture.
williamson winning isn't going to change anything, and that's the problem.
I have seen and heard Walling supporters react somewhat poorly to his loss, almost as if Flint isn't worth their time anymore. But I have also seen Williamson supporters act as if there is nothing wrong, and that anyone who isn't 100% for Don is some sort of 'tard.
such is life when it comes to government.
we'll all go on doing what we care about, crying about what we don't like, and push for or oppose the things we see fit. No one's going to just roll over.
Let's just get over ourselves and get on with the good fight...whatever we may think that is. |

| it's not just Flint, it's the whole country becoming more polarized. We all have to ask ourselves what's more important; our political beliefs, or the country as a whole? neither side is 100% right or wrong. There's good ideas on both sides. The election is over; we can either work together for a better city, or spend the next 4 years at each other's throats. |

Here's your answer: They can join another non profit. Steve have you told him about the political action website Flinttalk.com? I did vote for the guy but I'd rather he open up a business instead of another non-profit. We need real jobs not non-profit jobs!!!

FLINT - Failed mayoral candidate Dayne Walling is moving on, but not giving up.
Walling lost to Mayor Don Williamson earlier this month by 581 votes. Now, he is forming a new nonprofit called Flint's Future Now that he said will focus on community issues and on holding elected officials accountable.
And, eventually, Walling said he'll return to politics.
"I expect to run again," Walling said. "I think just being honest, that four years is a long time in politics, but having come so close I feel a responsibility to continue to push forward."
Walling won nearly 12,000 votes and plans to tap into his network of supporters to push for a more diverse economy, safer neighborhoods and more opportunities for youth through Flint's Future Now.
"We need to continue to focus on Flint's future even though there is not an upcoming election. Too often in Flint, we only talk about issues that matter at election time," Walling said.
An organizational meeting is planned for Dec. 3 and an official kickoff is expected in January.
Walling said the group will issue monthly "action alerts" to encourage residents to get involved in the community.
For the time being, Flint's Future Now will set up shop in Walling's former campaign headquarters on Grand Traverse in Flint.
All the election materials will be packed away and the group is open to everyone, whether they supported his candidacy or not, Walling said.
He said the group also will issue report cards based on voting records for elected officials, including City Council and the Genesee County Commission.
The organization, which Walling said he plans to form as a nonprofit, is volunteer based.
Walling, who worked full-time on his campaign, said he also is continuing to pursue several job possibilities, including at a local foundation and college.
About Flint's Future Now
Focus: Diversifying the economy, creating safe neighborhoods and providing more opportunities for children
Organizational meeting: 7 p.m. Dec. 3 at 940 S. Grand Traverse, Flint
Phone: (810) 280-7684 E-mail: info@flintsfuturenow.org Web site: www.flintsfuturenow.org |

I agree. I couldn't back the guy because he planned to cruise the country looking for other people's money to solve Flint problems. Plus I got suspicious when I saw a number of cars with Walling stickers on one side and Hillary on the other. |
