Citicide in Muskegon Heights

Heights city council gives rare 'no' to business breaks: "When asked by Councilwoman Bonnie McGlothin, Dorato told the council that only one of his employees is a Heights resident.
City residents pay a 1 percent income tax. Nonresidents pay 0.5 percent. "
If there was ever any hope for the Heights, it ended when they passed the city income tax. I wonder if the Councilwoman would have voted for the tax break if the employees were residents. Otherwise, why ask the question?

Granholm... pathetic....

Granholm calls for review of state prison health care system: "Critics say the Legislature, governor and correction officials have failed to properly oversee the 190 million dollars a year the state spends on prison medical care."
Can we really afford 4 more years of this gross incompetence?

Unintended consequences?

Anyone think that a whole bunch of small firms that used to cover prescriptions for their employees are gonna drop their coverage. Soon?
Firms must pay for birth control, Michigan Civil Rights Commission rules : "Small businesses that offer comprehensive prescription coverage but fail to cover birth control are violating the state's civil rights act and could be forced to change their policies under a ruling Monday by the Michigan Civil Rights Commission."

The MSM kinda buried this one, eh?

Imagine if Kilpatrick was a white mayor. Would the MSM play it a bit louder?
Feud divides Democrats: "The feud between Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's supporters and opponents remains a festering wound in the Democratic Party that could threaten its ability to deliver a strong voter turnout needed in Detroit to notch wins in statewide November elections."

Men in cell phone case still jailed

Men in cell phone case still jailed: "But the Palestinian-American men now each face one count of conspiring to traffic in counterfeit goods and carrying out an unlawful activity involving a financial transaction. They each could face up to 25 years in prison if convicted of the federal charges."

Way to go Jenny!

The Raw Story | Cunningham's wife tells all: Knives, guns, gay-bashing and delusion

The Raw Story Cunningham's wife tells all: Knives, guns, gay-bashing and delusion: "'When I was going to retire and become director of the Rhoades School, I made him promise to stop gay-bashing in public, because it might upset parents at that private school,' she said. She recalled when her husband addressed a group of men about his prostate surgery, he said his rectal procedure was 'just not natural, unless maybe you're Barney Frank.' Frank dismissed Cunningham's comment. 'I wouldn't list stability as his strongest personal characteristic,' he said."
