Don't look now but it looks as though Wendy J. and Nancy J. are teaming up together! |

Bad information Mole. Nancy doesn't even know Wendy Johnson nor does she have any inclination to return to the city. She has plans for the next month and they don't include partnering with Wendy Johnson. |

Give it a couple weeks and it will come out as it always does. |

If Walling wanted to bring Nancy back, and Nancy was interested (which the last I heard she had no interest), it would be the best thing Walling could do for the DCED. But if Nancy came back, there sure would be no need for Wendy Johnson. She's not qualified,
especially ethically

Wendy J has talk to Nancy J about bring The Fourteenth Annual Statewide Preservation Conference to Flint next year. She is pushing to make her neighborhood a historic district, now sitting in city hall she has more power than ever to do that. |

Word is she has promised certain residents that she can give them $35,000 grants for renovation if they help her historic district efforts. Anyone for extortion?
I don't believe she has spoken to Nancy, especially recently. |

At our last Historic District Commission meeting the chairwoman of the HDC Nancy Sinclair mentioned that these two would be working together on bringing the conference here next year.

Ryan, I take it you mean Nancy Sinclair and Wendy Johnson and not Nancy J?
Isn't there a conflict-of-interest for Wendy to be still involved in the historic district when she oversees the grants? Word is Lawler thinks the historic designation will allow them to receive federal money.
When the Concerned Pastors couldn't even put a complete grant application together for the CWAC, both Lawler and Nolden came running to their aid. |

Since when did conflicts of interest or shady dealings of any type bother the walling administration or the council? |

Quite simply Derrick:
Wendy Johnson is the new Director of DCED
.
Wendy Johnson is also the driving force of the attempt to make metawaneenee Hill into a historic district.
Wendy Johnson is in a conflict if she uses the resources of her office in anttempt to realize her goal of a historic district. |

I just read an article in East Village Magazine. It talks about Wendy Johnson and HER plans for the Metawanenee Historic District. She said “many of the homes in the Metawanenee neighborhood are architecturally significant because they were built in the first half of the 20th century, a historic district designation is needed.”
Just because a building was built 60+ years ago, does not mean that it is “historically significant.” The house I live in was built in 1950. Does that mean that it is not historically significant? But if it had been built one year earlier it would now be historically significant?
Are there historically significant houses in the area being discussed? Yes there are, but why designate the entire area when those individual houses could be designated historical? Is this to massage Ms. Johnson’s ego? I have stated before that I believe this woman is not ethically qualified to be the Director of DCED, and I truly believe that she will try to use her position to push this historic district into existence. My hope is that the decision makers outside of Flint have the ability to see through the lies and only designate individual buildings that are truly worthy. |

Drive down Welch in the megaweewee hills areas & look at the signs advertising their meeting that are put in the median of Welch. Are they exempt from the ordinance banning this? |
