I have been following Monica Conyers' outbursts for the last year or so. She has severe issues.....It makes Genesee County look like a hand holding Kumbaya kinda county...sheesh.

No matter how bad we think things might be, there's always somewhere worse.

I loved it when that Junior High student put Monica in her place.

Wrong Flint is the bottom of the barrel. We've been in recession since the early eighties.

Not much different from the audience remarks when Mayor Brown cleaned house at the council meeting.

You've got to be kidding, leadership is NOT about race, this is becoming obtuse.

Brown did appear to be a backroom deal. Whenever you have that there are bound to be allegations.

On a brighter note I talked with some of our "black nationalists" if you want to call them that and they were pleased with the chief appointment so I didn't sense very much racial tensions with Brown.

It's just a group in the larger Democratic Party... just like the Jewish Caucus, the Arab Caucus, the Independant Caucus, the Womens Caucus,d the UAW Caucus etc.... There are several sub-groups to the larger group.

I was referring to all of the citizens complaining about his appointments. I don't care what color they are as long as they are qualified. I can't remember the exact quote but someone in audience was talking about the Mayor just parading the black folks. It was the older guy with a cane.

The only one I remember for sure is Dave davenport yelling "He's only temporary". Being just about the only white person at the Tuesday meeting of block clubs, I'm waiting for something interesting to happen there.
