hows that Steve?
actually that might be a job he would be good at, glad-handing & smoozing I'm sure are strong suits of his. Better than trying to placate people who can't read their water bills. |

Maybe because no one understands the DDA, or difference between director and deputy director? City of Flint website (probably out of date) shows as below. Anyone know if these are current? Is Jim Rutherford still director?
DDA Board Members
Chairperson: Mayor Don Williamson
Director: James Rutherford
Harry Blecker
Inez Brown
David White
Deborah Pascoe
Louis Hawkins
Barbara Veasley
Loyst Fletcher
Doris Thomas
Robert Kittel
Ken Pierpont |

That info is correct. My question is how long do you think Larry Ford will be Rutherford's "deputy?" I'm betting Rutherford is about to get the axe. |

The Mayor does not have the right to appoint Larry Ford, only the DDA Board does. Rutherford is the manager, because he was never approved by City Council. All of the DDa Board members terms have expired, some as long as three years ago. They remain in office due to a bylaw that says they serve until replaced. Ken Pierpont no longer works in Flint, Doris Thomas retired from Chase bank and should no longer serve, Debrah Pascoe was appointed to represent the International Institute and now works outside the DDA boundry. We really need people who have an invested interst in the downtown area as its bylaws and state statue require.
The DDA really needs someone younger and energetic that can multi task and do more than just run parking lots. Larry Ford did not do anything to promote downtown Flint in his 30 years as head of the Chamber. Your right about Jim, This is a takeover, he will be out by spring.
Its a shame that the Flint paper doesn't tell the Flint people what really is going on. |
