| Now can we get Walling to follow the charter and prioritize the police department over things like green jobs coordinator and propoganda minister? |

| My sources tell me this is true and that Larry Ford is the sole person left out of the two names the DDA board gave to the mayor. Now Larry will be confirmed as the CEO of the DDA. |

Adam for once you make sense and I agree with you. I agree Walling loves to talk, but does little walk.

Watched Walling during council meetings and he doesn't like to lose. Watch out for some retaliatory measure! He can be as nasty as they come.
Remember his nasty diatribe after he lost to Williamson. Then he just backdoored by being part of the recall. |

I said he backdoored it. Many of his supporters were involved. He doesn't like to get his hands dirty.
Remember when ACORN made their first rallies against the police department against violence? In all of the news clips Walling could be seen standing in the background.
And in the physical assault on city hall some the recall organizers were prominent with the ACORN protesters.
By the way with our increased rise in violence the absence of ACORN is most notable.

Caron Wilson declines Flint Downtown Development Authority nomination; cites 'smear campaign,' 'sexism' in resignation letter
FLINT, Michigan -- Kettering University employee Caron Wilson has removed her name from consideration for the Downtown Development Authority's director position, leaving Larry Ford as the lone remaining candidate.
Wilson, who was nominated by Mayor Dayne Walling, said the political firestorm over the appointment has led to a "smear campaign" against her. She said she was the target of chauvinism and sexism.
"Never did I imagine (the nomination) would come with this brutal character assassination or that my family and children would be subjected or have to endure such vicious unfounded statements, rumors and lies," Wilson wrote in her resignation letter. "I am not running for political office. I was simply nominated for an administrative position.
"Therefore, I am looking forward to continuing with much enthusiasm my work and remain committed and dedicated to Kettering University."
The Flint City Council was scheduled to vote on Wilson's nomination at tonight's regular council meeting.
Walling and his director of communications could not immediately be reached for comment.
Wilson and Ford's names had been submitted to the mayor by the DDA board for consideration.
Walling nominated Wilson, despite a strong recommendation from the board for Ford. The decision sparked debate among city leaders regarding both candidates' qualifications.

Welcome to Politics 101 Caron. How did you think you could be a political appointee and not be subjected to public scrutiny and criticism?
Remember Wallings comment to Larry Ford"It's just politics".
When you enter the political realm you will always be subjected to intense scrutiny and innuendo.Blame your Kettering friends and Uptown friends for thinking they would just "bogart" you into position. Like the old saying "if you cn't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen", you obviously couldn't take the heat. Remember the only sex in politics is the "blue dress". |

| People at City Hall are all pissed off today, this whole thing has shown the public that Walling is WEAK. He cost him political capital and a loss. Rumor has it he will be removing Larry and putting in a "interim" leader soon. |

Would that require council approval?
"Interim" appointments; where have I heard that before? He couldn't be borrowing ideas from the "evil Don", could he??? |

| told you he would retaliate. He is beginning to make "evil Don" look like a novice. Watch him in public when challenged as he has a real mean streak. |
