Is anyone out there fed up with politics as usual? We get self serving narcistic people like Walling making promices that they lack sufficent experience in keeping. They then make appointments to people based on donations, campaign mgrs.,persons of color, gender,age,etc.etc. The only thing these politicians seem to lack is common sense and basic business knowledge.All they need to do is break even. They wouldnt last six months in the business world.The only thing they do is keep on spending beyond the tax payers ability to repay and raise taxes to cover their mistakes.Oh! i forgot to mention,blame the union and or previous adms. for all their problems. Ok Politicians, here is all us tax payers want you to do. Take a basic business course and learn to do such things as, step one,when your in the hole stop digging.
Now here is all we want- #1 A SAFE place to live. #2 A CLEAN place to live.#3 A DECENT school system. Every thing else comes after this.
Hint -you dont start by layoffs in the police and fire depts. and pick up garbage every other week. Go back and get rid of all those inexperiensed appts. you made and hire some people that know what they are doing,to help you get this city out of this mess. |

That would be wonderful, but the only thing politicians care about is themselves. The only time they "care" about us is when they want our votes. After the election, we're beneath their notice.
We don't need politicians, we need leaders! |

| I agree with both of you, we need to have leadership, not a self-serving nanny in the mayors office. |

I can not agree more. Just having to deal with DCED is all but impossible. The right hand has no idea what the left hand is doing. The NSP 3 Substantial addendum is just a shinning example of ineptitude on the part of the administration. They send in the addendum without any understanding of the historic regulations that govern a historic district, want to tear down the houses that Hurley has let rot for years and they assume the Flint HDC will let them. Deadline for submission is the end of the month. Good Luck DCED!
We need a mayor that will serve just one term cause if the new mayor does his job, EVERYONE will be pissed which means the job is getting done ACROSS THE BOARD, and reelection is unlikely. OR EVERYONE is mad equally so all are satisfied that the job is getting done and not by putting of the job by way of a stabilization bond. |

| Some have not heard the latest. The governer may give the same powers to current mayors as to a take over person? God help us all if he allows that to happen in Flint. Duh, thats the problem with most of the cities all over the state. They are being run by a bunch of the same political types with no idea as to what the taxpayers want or how to furnish them the services and break even. The simple fact is that they lack the experiance to be put in charge of multi million dollar budgets.Lets all keep this in mind next time and stop electing people based on political party,money,color,gender,advertising,church affilation,ETC<ETC<ETC. Forget these measures and elect someone with a proven business background who will not listen to special interest groups ,bribes,downtown,parties or anything except getting our city back on track. |
