Not sure Mayor O'Reilly understands that there's a such a thing as following not only the LETTER of…Read More the law, but the SPIRIT of it. It's abundantly clear what this money was intended for; the fact that municipalities are strapped for cash doesn't justify using it for something else. How do they expect voters to trust them the next time they propose a millage like this??

The bottom line Maureen is that you can't and shouldn't "trust them!" It's rare to find a…Read More politician who will oppose a tax increase, at least in Dearborn anyway...

Hasn't even worked one day? Not one day in 15 years? Really? Not even credit for one day?
When I…Read More worked at the Press & Guide (which eliminated my position in a budget restructuring that has continued under various corporate owners at the P&G for a decade and a half, resulting in them moving their offices to Southgate and more recently just out-and-out eliminating their editor, sports editor and photographer) we had a policy of no anonymous letters to the editor. This was done because, while everyone has the right to express their opinion, putting a real name with an opinion meant people displayed more decorum and, well, less cowardice than is allowed in online comments from the shadows.
Joseph, the benefit of post-employment health care after just eight years of service may have, in the early 1990s, been more acceptable in some way I can't figure (retention of key department heads has been cited as a reason, as was that it apparently mirrored a benefit for state officials), but it clearly was part of the excesses of Wayne County that was unjustifiable and unsustainable in the 2000s. This practice was ended two years ago by a resolution I introduced.

Joseph, Are you bordering upon slander? Is this the reason for no more info? I hope you are not.…Read More Perhaps you are picking up on some nasty rumors and repeating them here. You should know better than to do that. So, if you have real proof, tell it like it is and don't hedge. What you are saying in your post is dangerous to you and those who you are referring to, so, as the saying goes...put up or shut up.

Whether or not the facts of this opinion piece are true, I thoroughly believe Robert McNamara was…Read More the personal trainer for Kwame Kilpatrick. McNamera would have been spending a lot of time in prison if he didn't die. Ficano is a joke in my estimation. I know no one who wants him to remain in office. With today's survellience techniques and high tech gadgets, politicians can no longer get away with what they did in the past.
