Author    Post   Dave Starr F L I N T O I D I just did a search of the city charter and ordinances online for the word "Ethics". It's not found anywhere. Interesting. I also found a web site with information that maybe Flint should look into. www.michigan.gov/ethics _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now. Pushing buttons sure can be fun. When a lion wants to go somewhere, he doesn’t worry about how many hyenas are in the way. Paddle faster, I hear banjos. Mon Dec 21, 2009 3:02 pm  untanglingwebs El Supremo There is a great article on Atty. Gen. Cox and his efforts to beef up ethics rules in Michigan. Whole page devoted to ethical issues. Mon Dec 21, 2009 4:14 pm  untanglingwebs El Supremo OOps The article is in the Detroit News and this ia the web site they printed.

Mon Dec 21, 2009 5:45 pm  untanglingwebs El Supremo With Flint's long history of ethical lapses we really need more ethics policies.

Does the city have ANY ethics policy? _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now. Pushing buttons sure can be fun.

Mon Dec 21, 2009 6:28 pm  Adam F L I N T O I D That sounds like a good idea for our city's chief planner to work on. You should tell Walling to have his Chief Planner get on that. Mon Dec 21, 2009 10:52 pm  untanglingwebs El Supremo Adam- You must not know what a city planner does. Ethics would not fall under their pervue. Mon Dec 21, 2009 10:56 pm  Adam F L I N T O I D Sorry, I was being facetious because we have no city planner but if we did decide to follow the charter here is a code of ethics for city planners. http://www.planningpa.org/guideposts09_aicp_ethics.pdf Mon Dec 21, 2009 11:25 pm  Dave Starr F L I N T O I D The link in my original post has some sample policies as well. _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now.
