PROPOSAL D: Council By Distrcts
Shall the Detroit City Charter be amended to provide for a total of nine members of City Council with one (1) council member, with district residency, elected from each of seven (7) districts and two (2) members
elected at large?

PROPOSAL S: Detroit Public School District Bond Proposal
Shall the School District of the City of Detroit, County of Wayne, Michigan, borrow the principal sum of not to exceed Five Hundred Million Five Hundred Forty Thousand Dollars ($500,540,000) and issue its unlimited tax general obligation bonds for the purpose of defraying the cost of:
Constructing new replacement buildings and/or additions to existing buildings;
Remodeling existing buildings, including energy conservation, safety and security improvements;
Acquiring, improving and developing sites, including playgrounds, playfields and outdoor athletic facilities in the School District;
Furnishing, refurnishing, equipping and reequipping School District buildings; and
Acquiring and installing instructional technology equipment in and connecting School District buildings?
The estimated millage to be levied in 2010 to service this issue of bonds is 3.82 mills ($3.82 per $1,000 of taxable value) and the estimated simple average annual millage rate required to retire the bonds of this issue is 2.56 mills ($2.56 per $1,000 of taxable value). The debt millage levy required to retire all bonds of the School District currently outstanding and proposed by this ballot proposal is currently estimated to remain at or below 13.0 mills. The bonds may be issued in multiple series, payable in the case of each series in not to exceed thirty (30) years from the date of issue of each series. If the School District borrows from the State to pay debt service on the bonds of this issue, the School District may be required to continue to levy mills beyond the term of the bonds to repay the State.
(Under State law, bond proceeds may not be used to pay teacher or administrator salaries, routine maintenance or repair costs or other School District operating expenses.)

On the ground in Detroit
Today the newest issue of Time magazine with Detroit on the cover was sold out in all the area Borders books and Barns and Noble stores. Apparently it's a good report, I'm not sure though. I want to read it and critically review its content. I really would like to see what they, ["they" meaning skilled, experienced, educated and assumedly intelligent journalists] put together on this city. But all in all is Detroit really as bad as it would seem to the outside eye? Once one adjusts to life in the 'hood things can be quite relaxing, and a sense of contentment and simple enjoyment sets in. The Sunday afternoon barbeque, the smell of smoke, the music from the neighbor's radio, the bump of the cars bass, the call of the pheasant, bees buzzing in the trees. I mean, this is my east-side reality were things are a bit more country. But Detroit's Deroit. Sometimes I find it liberating where people are just ... in the moment whatever that moment is. Whether you're serving at the spot or struggling to pay for classes at Wayne state or both, it's a unique experience and everyone's perception of the same reality shifts by person. Let's all share our perspectives. I do want to read the time report before I make any assumptions.
But because with all these reports coming in from national media; from stranger reporters who have descended upon this "industrial wasteland" it's starting to become a caricature of itself. Meaning the formula for this kinds of thing can be nailed and celebrated with a simple drinking game.
I'm not sure what's going on. I've only lived in the city proper for two years. I definitely think that the city may look different to a foreign eye. And I think that vantage point needs to be developed. But seriously, I feel that the mainstream information flow, for the most part, is so conventionally wacked. Here we have the majority of reports and analysis of the political and socio-economic situations coming from people who have not been assimilated into the unique culture of Detroit. A lot of these problems are based in a cultural, racial, class based subtext. They're problems that are not new but are magnified by economic recessions. But the magnification turns it into a spectacle, a grand exhibit. Then there's the added consideration that white people inherently have an incredible need conquer. If they talk about the old train station and urban farming and urban blight and such then it's ... pretty predictable.
Hair advice:
I've always worn my hair natural. As a mixed person (black and white and other) my hair doesn't respond well to all "black" hair products nor does it respond well to "white" hair products. For years I struggled with hair products from shampoos to conditioners and serums. They either oiled the hell out of my hair so it was just lumpy and heavy or dried it out until it was crispy and frizzy.
So, all my ladies (and gents) with seriously curly hair, here are some products that work. Remember, never get stuck using one product. It's crucial to rotate shampoos regularly...but make sure you keep some good ones in rotation. Here are some products that work for me:
Shampoos:
#1. Kerastase "Oleo Curl Bain" in orange bottle $35 at salons OR $23 at www.beautybythecase.com
#2. CHI "INRFA SHAMPOO" Grey bottle w. red cap. " Moisture Therapy Shampoo"(I found it for $13 at CVS) It works almost as good as Kerastase!
#3. Marc Anthony "Strictly Curls" shampoo $7 at any place that sells shampoo it's REALLY good the first week or some then it drops off. I'd suggest alternating it w. CHI or Kerastase twice a month or so. It'sa good backup.
#4. Pantene "ICE SHINE" Shampoo. $5 at most places. Again, like Marc Anthony only good if used once in a while or it dries out your hair. NEVER use Pantene "Hydrating Curl" it is a lie! They should call it Pantene "Crispy Frizz"
SO I think that's a good start on the shampoo. Let's talk conditioner!
#1. Kerastase "Oleo Curl" conidtioner. Again, orange bottle about $25/bottle. I couldn't find it on beauty by the case website but it's at most salons. I don't sweat it too much tho bc there are cheaper ones that work.
#2. (Actually for the price this should be #1. ) PANTENE PRO V RESTORATIVES "FRIZZ CONTROL"conditioner. $6.50 at most places where Pantene is sold. It has a purple band around it and it comes in a tube shaped bottle like a large tube of toothpaste. AWESOME stuff! Never gets old! I suggest using it immediately after shampooing AND on days when you don't wash your hair. Put a good dollop of the stuff though hair and leave it in for about 5 mins while you shower before rinsing it all out.
#3. So I don't usually do the leave-in thing with conditioners but if you do, find a good black beauty supply shop and look for "Africa's Best" products. OMG they never let you down. This is a rule.
"Africans Best" has a deep conditioning treatment they have for $3 and it gets you a tub of this stuff. It's called "ORGANICS SHEA BUTTER PLUS" by "AFRICA'S BEST". It comes in a tub with a green top and a purple and green label.
There are lots of good conditioners out there. Don't use any with "Petrolatum" in the ingredients.
#4. Any of the Pantene PRO-V Restorative conditioners seem to do a good job.
#5 BioInfusion "Moisturizing" conditioners ($7, Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid)
OK. Now here's a step I skip unless I'm stepping OUT!!! IT's styling products.
And none of these are much better than the other
a. Redken "Ringlet 07" formula. $12 at most salons and dept. stores. Run that through combed, towel dried hair and watch the magic as it dries!
b. Garnier Fructis "Curl Scrunch" gel. $8 at pharmacy. Same application. Redken might be a tiiiny bit better but this one's cheaper!
c. This one works WITH Curls AND when/if you ever want to straighten our hair. It's called "OLEO RELAX" leave-in serum by Kerastase. $25/bottle @ salons AND beautybythecase.com. Smooth a very small dab it over hair after you apply the curl gel or if it's straight hair smooth down frizzes with it or use it to aid you flat iron.
d. Some sort of strong hold hair spray for days I slick my hair back and don't want fly-aways. I use a toothbrush comb in fly-aways with hair gel and then spray it in place.
OK that's all for now! Let me know how it goes!
I AM curious, what products do YOU use?
TIP: If you've been using the same shampoo for months, try switching it up, even if it's a good shampoo. You can always come back to it. It's good to rotate between shampoos that you know work, something to do with the change in chemicals? I have no idea. But trust me, it works.
So if I've been using the Chi's ultra moisturizing shampoo for about a month now and I might switch to
Aveeno or Pantene "moisturizing" shampoos every couple months. If I could afford to I'd use Kerastase "Curl Bain" more often, tho. It's not as crucial to switch conditioners if you get a good one, either.

Packard Plant: let it burn?
Detroit's Packard Industrial Park's 3.5 million square feet is an eerie landmark in the city. Once a symbol of economic prosperity, today the sprawling, decayed frame covers 35 acres with shattered glass, dripping rust, and heaps of municipal waste such as shoes, dolls and boats. In the spring and summer parts become enshrouded in leafy overgrowth.
In many ways, The Packard factory is a symbol of The Motor City's decline from a prosperous manufacturing capital to a city in crisis.
A fire blazed through the top floors of the structure Sunday night June 28th at 7:30 p.m. Firefighters faught the blaze from the outside for hours. The fire is suspected to be arson.

Bing's campaign statement on trash incinerator
When running for Mayor Dave Bing has this to say about recycling and about his position on Detroit's method of municipal waste disposal:
Q: Do you think Detroit should continue to send garbage to its waste-to-energy incinerator?
A: In fiscal year 2007-2008, Detroit residents paid $172/ton for trash disposal – about 5 to 7 times as much as nearby suburbs, and about 14 times what private haulers paid to have their trash burned at the incinerator ($172/ton versus $12/ton).
In 2008, the city council voted to end sending our trash to its waste to energy incinerator. I support this action. Detroit can sell materials that are currently going into the incinerator on the global market. The city can not sell what now it burns. That is more money that could be earmarked for our deficit. I have been informed that of the nation's 30 largest cities, Detroit is the only major city without some type of curbside recycling program. While confronting our mounting deficit, I can not promise a city wide curbside recycling program, I would support working with the private and non-profit sectors on pilot programs.

Diane Bukowski sentenced
Diane Bukowski, a reporter for the African-American owned Michigan Citizen newspaper, was sentenced to one year of probation, 200 hours of community service and more than $4,200 in fines this morning after being convicted of two felony counts of police obstruction last month.
Bukowski was arrested at the scene of a fatal high-speed police chase crash in northeast Detroit last November. Her conviction has been seen as a political attack from the Wayne County prosecutor Kym Worthy’s office for her long history of covering police brutality incidents in Detroit and her criticism of the Wayne County prosecutor for not responding to these incidents.
Early in the sentencing hearing Circuit court judge Michael Hathaway said he would not give Bukowski jail time.
After imposing the sentence he said was pleased. “I’m very comfortable with the result of this case and with the sentence that I am about to impose,” Hathaway said.

Ten Reasons why the North American International Auto Show WON'T move to Novi
JUST FOR FUN:
So there's been some talk recently -- well more than talk, there's a threat rolled into a recently passed senate bill that will put the same Cobo transfer deal that the Detroit City Council rejected in February in front of the council again to vote on. But this time the state is holding a water gun spray painted black to their heads and they think the council won't know the difference. L. Brooks is a white male version of a hustlaaa, of a hustlaa, of a-of a hustlaa. He's saying "This is a stick up, stick up, gimme that hall or that Auto show!" It's called the "if you don't we'll move the auto show to Novi," caveat.
This nothing more than an obnoxious bluff. Why would the biggest auto show on the continent move from the major U.S. city that is in history for being the birthplace of the automobile to some deadly dull midwestern city like Novi Michigan?
The Detroit City Council should not sweat about the Auto Show moving to the Rock Financial Showplace in Novi. There are bigger fish to fry. Like Michigan losing the show altogether. The state and the city should be in talks not bickering with each other and giving CPR to dead legislation. These are tough times for Micihgan and leaders should act accordingly. The Cobo center does need to be repaired. No doubt. But if the state can give $9 million to the rock financial showplace for expansions it can give Detroit to fix some loading docks and repair some concrete.
But anyway here's ten obvious reasons why the auto show won't go to Novi:
10. WTF is there to do Novi other than 12 oaks mall and some skeezy nightclubs?
9. Since when is Novi a major U.S. City?
8. There are no casinos in Novi.
7. There is no international riverfront in Novi
6. A travel events page lists "Things to do in Novi: (1)" Seriously, there's only one thing listed to do. See for yourself: CLICK HERE
5. International Auto enthusiasts don't usually consider cow tipping a thrilling pastime
4. The Rock financial Showplace will need more that $288 mil to turn it into a Cobo Hall.
3. Why does the region wants Cobo for themselves so badly if they can have the beautiful Rock financial showplace in Novi? L. Brooks just wants what he can't have and Monica Conyers playing hard to get ... ok just kidding.
2. The Auto show is shrinking like a wool sweater in a dryer. Last year they didn't even use all the space in Cobo due to tough economic times. Is there some boom we don't know about that's gonna take place between now and January? Seriously what's the rush for this $288 million expansion? They do need the docks fixed and some repairs. But that's what we have the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) for, no? Nothing a little teamwork can't fix.
1. THE NORTH AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL AUTO SHOW WILL MOVE TO CHICAGO OR L.A. BEFORE THEY MOVE TO NOVI. NOVI IS NOT EXACTLY AN INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL ATTRACTION. WHO ARE WE KIDDING HERE? AT LEAST DETROIT HAS OPERA, GAMBLING, THE PEOPLE MOVER, UNIQUE DINING OPTIONS, ETC. NAIAS ORGANIZERS AREN'T THE ONES THREATENING TO LEAVE DETROIT! IT'S THESE REPUBLICAN STATE LEGISLATORS THAT WANT THE CONVENTION CENTER AND IT'S ALL A POLITICAL SHOWDOWN BETWEEN URBAN/SUBUNRBAN BLACK/WHITE, REPUBLICAN/DEMOCRAT.
Detroit, It's a DAMN SHAME.

MI Indigent defense Subcommittee
Chair of MIchigan's indigent defense subcommittee Bob Constan speaks about ideas the committee is reviewing for new legislation on indigent defense:
Bob Constan, State Rep 16th house dist Chair of Indigent Defense subcommittee
What’s happened is because money seems to be tighter and tighter money for indigent criminal defense is the first area to get cut. We have a system now that varies from county to county. Funding [public defense] programs at the state level instead of a county level so we have same system throughout the state is maybe something we have to look at doing.
What works or doesn’t work in Wayne County may or may not work elsewhere. I’m an attorney. I’ve been in private practice for 21 years and a lot of the courts are moving to the lowest bidder contracts where one person comes in and handles all the cases that day. There’s no continuity representation. None the fees have been updated in years and years and years. We’re [Michigan is] very low on the totem pole. When they do the budget that’s one area that doesn’t get any cost of living adjustments.
Looking at how we can get more bang for the buck – one of the things we’re gonna need is some increased funding. Well we’re going to look at adding something to the bail bonds business – looking at some revenue sources there – the different fees or costs that are assessed –whatever revenue streams we can latch onto. [Changes in the current public defense policy] have to be done. They’re just changes that have to be made we’re not meeting our constitutional obligations – the ACLU has filed a lawsuit as they’ve done in other states – we just have to update and improve our criminal indigent defense. We have to make sure we get every dollar we can. Our state public defenders office handles 1/4 of criminal appeals – they’re doing a very good job. They have attorneys that specialize and that’s all they do. They’re very good at what they do. All they do is criminal appeals so they become specialized. You have to look at efficiencies like that. That could work statewide. The end result will be some legislation that will improve our criminal defense system. It will be introduced in the next six months.
