Author    Post   Gooch F L I N T O I D It says Kildee on the side but its Mike Carr in the report saying to do away with the elceted officals county wide. http://abclocal.go.com/wjrt/video?id=7182971 Mon Dec 21, 2009 9:37 pm  back again F L I N T O I D steppin on a lot of toes!!!! _________________ even a small act of goodness may be a tiny raft of salvation across the treacherous gulf of sin, but one who drinks the wine of selfishness, and dances on the little boat of meaness, sinks in the ocean of ignorance. P.Y. Mon Dec 21, 2009 10:36 pm  Adam F L I N T O I D Mike Carr for Chief Executive? Mon Dec 21, 2009 11:22 pm  Dave Starr F L I N T O I D If I understood him, have one elected executive that would appoint all the other positions. Lots of checks & balances there. _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now. Pushing buttons sure can be fun.

Its ironic to hear Carr and Kildee at the ends of their public jobs to call for the elimination of those jobs. _________________ Join in the discussion here at Flint Talk , Face Book, Google Blogger " Good Morning Flint" , Twitter, Blogging For Michgian" and MLIVE.

Daniel Kildee has gone to work for major economic interests and he is the best overall candidate for County Executive. Reducing the number of County Department heads would give the County Executive/Daniel Kildee/Major Economic interests more power and you less. _________________ Join in the discussion here at Flint Talk , Face Book, Google Blogger " Good Morning Flint" , Twitter, Blogging For Michgian" and MLIVE.

Wed Dec 23, 2009 9:59 am  andi03 F L I N T O I D Right now everyone can scream "economic interest" until they are blue in the face...to be blunt. But first and foremost, one has to consider a plethora of things. We are NOT in any, way shape or form like Oakland County. Just because, certain people wish to mimic a good idea does not make it one. In the past when this idea has come up, it is always mapped after the Oakland County model. Won't work. Then you have people like Mrs. Bogardus, whose feathers get ruffled at the drop of a hat over her corner of the county. Lack of representation in the long run will be dismissed. We elect people to represent us that we deem qualified to do the job. If people are appointed by virtue of who knows who, my representation is lost. If all of the people that are appointed are from Flint and the northern part of Genesee County, how would they know my needs from the Southern part of the county. People can scream economic interest but a lot of mistakes have been made with ideas that are touted as saving money and not looking at the whole picture.... <insert facepalm here> Wed Dec 23, 2009 10:31 am  terrybankert F L I N T O I D quote: andi03 schreef: Right now everyone can scream "economic interest" until they are blue in the face...to be blunt.
