FlintTalk.com Forum Index > Political Talk Topic: council misappropriating money?

Author    Post   untanglingwebs El Supremo The lawsuit settlement from Comcast specifically stated the money was to be used for the creation of a studio for Flint Comcast video productions. Now I understand the money was used for other purposes. Can council reallocate lawsuit monies for purposes unrelated to both the lawsuit and the settlement.

No one to follow through on behalf of Flint Comcast customers when Comcast nickle and dimes the customers, like charging for counter service at the local store, or charging a monthly fee to analog customers for a box to convert to digital when they were not supposed to do so (after after upping the monthly rates for minimum basic service again). Or as a poor service example today, on Channel 17 there was terrible handling of the city council meeting. Too long between DVD changes, then on the last one I watched the audio was not of the meeting but rather classical music. What a waste!

They had a request to enter into a franchise agreement with the area. Scott Kincaid led the charge against their request as the Comcast contract was up for renewal and he wanted the up front fee they proposed to attempt to keep us out of state control. The state has taken over now and Flint will have no local control and all franchise fees would go to the state. Nor have we seen any rush to offer services under the state program that promised lower prices and more competition. Thequestion is: How can a settlement givrn for a specific purpose be diverted for another use?

Because politicians do what they want to do, just as tobacco settlement funds are being used for purposes other than the settlement intended.
