FlintTalk.com Forum Index > Political Talk Topic: Why doesn't Flint hire lobbyists?

Author    Post   Ryan Eashoo F L I N T O I D I think we should hire lobbyists and get some money for schools, historic preservation, baseball park downtown, new convention center. Some other projects getting funding: The projects run the gamut: a Metrolink station that needs building in Placentia, Calif.; a stretch of beach in Sandy Hook, N.J., that could really use some more sand; a water park in Miami. There are thousands of projects like those that once would have been gotten money upfront but now are left to scramble for dollars at the back end of the process as "ready to go" jobs eligible for the stimulus plan. _________________ Flint Michigan Resident, Tax Payer, Flint Nutt - Local REALTOR - Activist. www.FlintTown.com Sun Jan 25, 2009 5:18 pm  back again F L I N T O I D ryan. you run, i'll help.

Mon Jan 26, 2009 9:35 am  andi03 F L I N T O I D ***Ryan, I agree. **** Why in the hades would anyone want to give Flint federal funds knowing that the people in charge are totally inept. Monies given to churches, money spent on a dragstrip without council consent, a mayor that appointed a Chief that is under Fed indictment, appointing people to jobs that are not qualified, spending out of control, the Mayor spending monies at his "wife's" businesses, compromising the safety of citizens......Would anyone trust Williamson with federal dollars? NOPE Give the monies to jurisdictions that prove they're responsible with monies, then it will give the ineptly run jurisdictions a kick in the arse to get straightened up....
