A Thankless Job

The campaigning has already started to replace former Mayor Don Williamson, and it's a crowded field.

  1. How many are crackpots? I count two... none of whom however can hold a candle to the over the top nuttiest of Ex-Con Don.
    Rest assured, the most qualified will lose. Expect a semi-competent schlub who'll plug a couple of holes while the Good Ship Lollipop continues to spring dozens of leaks.

  2. well, maybe the donfather will be undone by his grabbing that 150,000$ that he said he'd never take. and I'm sure that there'll be more questions on money in the next few months...maybe in front of a grand jury?

  4. Dayne's alright with his Rhodes Scholarship, DC experience, diplomatic demeanor, national political connections, ascot and monocle but what Flint really needs in a mayor is a regular guy who served time or is a barber or a shop rat or an NRA member... or better yet, a lifelong resident of Halls Flats who mainlines coney sauce and makes his own venison jerky. That guy has my vote because he "understands" Flint.

Thanks for commenting. I moderate comments, so it may take a while for your comment to appear. You might enjoy my book about Flint called "Teardown: Memoir of a Vanishing City," a Michigan Notable Book for 2014 and a finalist for the 33rd Annual Northern California Book Award for Creative NonFiction. Filmmaker Michael Moore described Teardown as "a brilliant chronicle of the Mad Maxization of a once-great American city." More information about Teardown is available at www.teardownbook.com.
