Here is old Flint Guys response: Posted by DWCBOB December 03, 2009, 2:20PM OFG, any response from the US Attorney? Inappropriate comment? Alert us. Reply to this comment | Post a new comment Posted by oldflintguy December 04, 2009, 11:56AM Bob, and all - I faxed over an "outline" that ran 41 pages of things that I felt should be checked out. Blessed with a title that requires people to take seriously what is above it, I have been given a personal appointment next week to present the research and file an official complaint with their office. I was assured the matter would be investigated on three seperate points of interest. Thanks to the efforts of our friend Webs, we got their attention on HUD funds, Recovery funds and a potential issue of improper influence. All in all, not a bd day's work for the PEOPLE. Will make sure to keep updated on other posts. Inappropriate comment? Alert us. Sat Dec 05, 2009 7:32 am  untanglingwebs El Supremo see previous thread on Advanced Solutions. Originally this contract was to go to Clean Energy Coalition out of Ypsilanti. (resolution 090709 on 8/11/09 during Brown's interim administration) but was dropped. This group has an impressive history. Later Ananich, friend and former President of the Board of Directors of GECA, requested a resolution from the Walling administration to give Fields(former executive director of GECA) the contract. Luckily for the citizens the ARRA act of 2009 only requires "reasonable belief" to trigger an investigan of abuses of the act. Among the violations are "contract steering" , a'inappropriately using one's position and influence in the selection of vendors with whom you have a personal relationship or interest".
