Mayor is all aboput smoke and mirroes.
What happen to the Ann Arbor police office that in 2002 that cost 25,000 that none of the recommendations have been inacted, and you the ocuncil have the mayor say he wants 50 new officers he is listened too...The mayor is running the police deptartment
Where is the statistical analysis that will tell you where different procedure work...
We need a chhesive partnership such as FANG...
MS.Popular you see what happens when you move off the mayors bandwagon.... |

Council person Sims told the group of a memo from Don Williamson that she should make her referral through Darryl Buchanan not to send separate referrals to her,
the Audiance shouted we need a new council present...
Buchanan defended himself, the crown reacted with approval and shouts for ms Sims that criticized Buchanan
Neely said I agree I agree with Sims, I am getting ready to get on the bandwagon... the crown eruted in cheer,
Neely my mother taught me the difference between right and wrong, my moma taught me the difference,
Neely ripped up the mayors 26 proposals the crown erupted in appaluse...
SIMS moved for a no confidence vote for no confidence in Don Willaimson
moved and supported
poplar yes nelson yes
sims yes
yes neeley
annanich yes
kincaid yes
Darryl Buchanan voted yes
THE CITY COUNCIL JUST VOTED A VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE AGAINST DON WILLIAMSON |

The mayor is in contempt of court for not naming a police chief
Moved to direct Charles Forest to sue the Mayor to represent the city council to file a claiom against the mayor for not complying with the city charter...
KINCAID IS ASKING FOR A SHOW C AUSE AGAINST THE MAYOR...
With the mayor the only way to get things done is through a lawsuit...

Kincaid is moving that a hearing be set to remove the Miskow from office.

Tonight I reported in real time from the Flint City Council meeting.
1.I could not sign on to Flint Talk and therefore could not edit my post.
2.I type poorly, I was in an tight position, the quality of the typing detracted, I powered out at 7:30 pm
3. It was easy to do.
4.I used a lap top and a LAN card wirless
You judge the quality but I reported the Flint City Council vote of no confidence on the Mayor before any body else. In fact I called TV 12 and told them they should be there.
What if two of us were posting to Flint Talk the activities of a Flint Board of Education meeting, the Flint City Council meeting, a neighborhood meeting, the readers of Flint talk would get breaking news which they did tonight.
What do you think?
I suggesst that 10 -20 of us with this technology start covering meeting this way.
Your thoughts

fascinating. Sounds like they got tired of the donald's heavy-handed punitive actions and decided enough was enough......
go all the way or don't go at all. We all hang together so we don't hang separately.
I sense that once the original outcasts [Kincaid and Sims] realized a tipping point had occurred, it was time to push the actions to the max, and get several items against the mayor/actions he had taken, voted on.
Of course the no confidence vote is just symbolic, and something I expect the donald to shrug off. The other actions, about the water lines, appointments etc will have more lasting repercussions.
The ball is in the donald's court. Lets see how he responds tomorrow.
Will Conroy convince him to not respond with more brinksmanship and defuse the situation? I doubt it, if past performance is any indication.
This could get messy.......................
Thanks for the live reports Terry. Given the circumstances, no apologies necessary for the quality of the writing. We can figure out what was being said.
I expect then NOT to see anything on the news tonight, maybe the paper tomorrow..even then it will be filtered, muted....Once again the media fails the community.
Your suggestion is a fascinating one, in that it would provide a spotlight into what is actually going on in some of these important meetings, that typically don't reported at all, or get filtered into the 30 second film/sound bite on TV. Hope others will pick up on it [i don't have a laptop]. |

I can only presume Sandy Hill would have opposed all the votes.
But what about Ehren Gonzales? I assume he was absent tonight.
And he's probably GLAD he was......now at least he doesn't have to choose sides YET.
But he will soon enough have to decide. Given the donald's anticipated "scorched earth" response to any and all who oppose him;
Mr Gonzales will have to decide if these are the issues he wishes to break with the mayor on; or not.
But there is no doubt in my mind, the mayor will excoriate each and every council-member who isn't with him. Doesn't matter the reason.
its just who the donald is. |
