How many times have they ignored press releases from the elected school board and show up to emergency manager and foundation's "educational" summits and press conferences. And how often they repeat - uncritically the lies they are handed by the educational achievement authority. They are fully complicit in the return of Jim Crow through their acquiescence. Now watch who loses funding for expressing opposition to the plans of the banks in drag- the non profits? <br />It makes it clear who is who.<br /><br />Elena Herradahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14402277392474474188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415881958481908361.post-10462143971591201662014-02-25T08:14:06.915-05:002014-02-25T08:14:06.915-05:00Id like to thank the Peoples Coalition who orgwniz...Id like to thank the Peoples Coalition who orgwnized tbe "People's Plan" & press conference as a response to the I"Adjustment Plan" presented by the unlawful position held by Orr.still standing 4 Justicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18054731629027524965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415881958481908361.post-80967115607431053742013-03-23T05:48:04.564-04:002013-03-23T05:48:04.564-04:00Thanks for sharing this first-class piece.

I wish the conservatory and museum weren't closed on a Tuesday, but I suppose that is due to lack of funding. The beach was 10 times more beautiful than it was 12 years ago. He even SWAM! I love Belle Isle. I ran the marathon, and loved seeing it. Maybe on the weekends there is some partying, but it is ALWAYS cleaned up perfectly! That's what parks are for!

I like the piece and have a few pointers.<br /><br />Expand the article with some examples and statistics.<br /><br />You may not be aware but the government contracting game is a huge industry with thousands of companies lobbying for lucrative contracts.<br /><br />These guys are professionals who can easily overwhelm officials with their supposed expertise.<br /><br />Slick presentations and fancy brochures are merely sales tools of their trade. That's right I said SALES TOOLS. <br /><br />Mitt Romney is one of those guys.<br />He is one of the best, getting more then 500 Million dollars from the Feds to help fund the olympics in 2001. He had the audacity to say " I saved the olympics". What a crock. The Federal Government saved the olympics.<br /><br />I try to forget that 30 years ago, I was actually one of those Michigan Government Contractors.<br />Our managing partner did all the sales presentations and had all of the high level government contacts.<br />It seemed like a good old boys network.<br /><br />You might also check on the personal relationships between the officials involved with the contracts and the contractors who get the bids.<br /><br />Tom moneytax.orghollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08069160821736540810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415881958481908361.post-91169943623572297892012-11-20T08:39:44.912-05:002012-11-20T08:39:44.912-05:00This meeting may still be on.
