"What I'm saying is..." Budget Woes

  

Impact on the community's Youth Center felt by citizens
Channel 7 Action News

         

Pontiac City Council has no idea how to run a city. Oakland University has a very strong Master's of Public Administration program and each of the council members should enroll. I don't think any of our council members could, because you have to have a bachelor’s degree to start a Master’s program. Only three of them have degrees. None of them have a degree in Business. At this time, a Finance or Accounting class is a must. They haven't a clue what they are doing, and they fill the time they have discussing our budget arguing to hide their ignorance. Our Mayor had to thank Kermit Williams, Council President, for admitting he had no idea. That is a big step for a very small-minded man. I'm watching the budget hearings and it's worse than pulling teeth. They are in essence trying to give birth to city business that works. That's not set up to be a piggy bank for stealing. 

The City Council wants to take everything from the Mayor that she does right. Gloria Miller is doing her best to cripple her Youth Program. They took her three full-time positions down to one. The rest will be part-time. They have people working at our Youth Center with Master's degrees, and who have worked with youth their entire careers. Pontiac is use to people dealing with their children who are not equipped to deal with their children, but have a "heart" for the children. Our Mayor has put in place individuals who don't just show up with a bag of balls and throw them on the gym floor and let them attempt to make a basket. They are true professionals, and what the children in our city need. They can build a program that supports the future of our children. "Cutting off their nose to spite their faces." Not investing in our children is a mistake. Miller doesn't like the Mayor and is hurting our children to make a point to the Mayor. She doesn't care anything about our kids...NOTHING! It's the dark-skinned against the light-skinned woman. That how I see it, because all Gloria Miller talks about is how uppity the Mayor is. Doris Taylor-Burks, too. Jiggaboos and Wannabees, good and bad hair.

In the past, Pontiac hired their friends. Friends of the Mayor, Council friends and relatives and longtime residents that are "popular" among the people. Now, she is hiring people who are qualified to do the job. Things are getting done, but no one wants to concede to the Mayor. Gloria Miller has little or no education. She was elected on feelings, and the foolishness of people driven by her "heart". We in Pontiac need to realize that our heart isn't going to fix things. It's not going to raise money or appropriate funds properly. If the only thing our City Council has done is balanced their check book, we are in trouble. In other cities, the City Council is educated. If a Council Member is not educated they have the brain power to learn. Our Council, stuck on creating fake accounts has no idea about balancing a budget or finances, which I told you last blog are two different things. Just like Management and Marketing are closely related in Business, Accounting and Finance are brother and sister. Business is made up of these four units with Economics being that close-knit cousin, because it encapsulates all of it working in our society.

Gloria Miller on a quest to destroy the Mayors Youth Program, has taken a piece of our economic strength in this community. If those people own home in the city, they are now unable to pay their mortgage, buy groceries or spend money in our city. That's why in the 80's the city fought so hard to keep people in our fire, police and administration in the city. We don't have the housing to support many of the people that worked here and had a spouse that also worked. They could afford to buy a home of greater value than Pontiac had available. Rising crime and drug related events along with a failing school system, moved people out of the city. Our children have suffered from all of those things, too. We need a place where they can go for the summer and grow in their talents and self-care. Councilperson Miller, mad at the Mayor for her success and light-skin, is causing our children harm with her jealousy. She was big on shutting down the jobs of good people, and couldn't open her mouth when the business was talked about, because she's ignorant. She's not fooling anyone when it comes to her slight of the Mayor and wanting to see her fail. At the same time, ruining the ability for our children to grow. Regardless of what she feels will work, the Mayor keeps reminding them that they agreed to most of what they are now opposing, and this is the Council going back on their word.

Councilperson Gloria Miller

Mary Pietilia is unbelievably rude and annoying. In the last two meeting she's disrupted the meetings by yelling out, "I wanna go home!" How about you resign your position or do your job. You knew last year that you'd be tackling the budget at this time. You and all of the rest of the Council are so stuck on doing what Kermit Williams want to do that you dropped the ball on the budget; again. Every year it's the same thing. Kermit and his cronies, Taylor-Burks, Miller, Carter and Waterman hold up the budget. Mainly so Williams can create and get his little accounts in and  pillage the city. Then they go through and try to find the accounts they THINK the Mayor and her administration are using to steal. Accounts they feel are marked "Other". There can't be any anonymous accounts that seem to have no significance. Today, they fought over the word "Executive Misc." or something. The type of account that he and his cronies used to steal in the past. They want it to be called "Census..." and their lawyer opted to add the word "Only". This way they would have to come before the Council to get at the money. "You only see in other what you see in yourself". The attempt to put specific names to these accounts are to stop the Mayor from stealing.

But she makes enough money that she doesn't have to steal. That's why they were so angry about her taking that raise. She doesn't have to steal a dime from the city. She has a salary that is more than enough. The Council denied the raise, because they want to come off like they are for the people. They gave the money back to look good, hoping they would just steal the rest that they need from the city coffers. Sadly, the Mayor has her hand on the purse strings. So tight that Gloria Miller want to hurt the kids in our city and take away the staff at the Rec Center. Thinking about her slight to our kids makes me sick. She is so stuck on her own wants and needs that she is punishing our children. She needs to be recalled, too. She knows nothing about City Works, anyway. What her biggest quest should be, instead of working with Kermit Williams to destroy the Mayor accomplishments, is to educate herself on what her job is. I recall, she doesn't even know what her job is a Legislator. She said one evening, "There should be something done about the trash, because I don't like the way this is going". Mr. Gustafson let out a chuckled and proclaimed, "You're the Council. Write an ordinance and fix what you don't like."  She thinks her job is to sit in Council Meeting and start trouble. She has no idea what the branches of government do, and Pontiac citizens elected her. That says something about our city. She can talk the talk, but can she walk the walk?

They finally let the Finance Director talk, because he's the only one that knows what's really going on. The Deputy Mayors tries, but she and Williams had it, tonight! Even the Council lawyer, has no idea what's really going on. I'm sure she is intentionally left out of the Mayor's budget meetings. She's trying to get any coins that fall to the floor herself, and has calmed down her disrespect of the Mayor. She should, because at some point the City Council will be held accountable for the decisions they've made out of pure ignorance. As an educated woman, Sharpe is going to look stupid when things don't work out. Williams said that he went out and got advice. Not from her or his partner the City Clerk, who has nothing to do with Fiance. He got his little raise. He was seen tonight shaking his head in disgust, when he doesn't have a degree in Finance either. Just a troublemaker that needs to be let go, because he can't be neutral. He gets a raise for being messy, but they fire people that see after our kids? Kermit Williams is such a slimy person and he and the Clerk's "love affair" at these meetings are obvious. He leans in, and uses paper to cover his mouth, while he speaks and has close loving talks with Taylor-Burks, while EVERYBODY interrupts the Mayor. Attorney Chubb spoke when Taylor-Burks was speaking, Taylor-Burks shouted out, "I am speaking!" You ain't got nothing to say, because her PhD. is in Psychology. She also knows nothing about Finance. She, like Miller sat silent during most of the Budget talks. She mad she's not light-skinned, she needs to educate herself and maybe she'll get some respect. The people elected the Mayor across the entire city and she can't get a break. Taylor-Burks sure isn't going to give her one!

Councilperson Doris Taylor-Burks 

Mr. Newsome, who I saw get frustrated with the process, tried to work it out. He explained to the Council every time they came up with a "lame brain" idea to solve their problem with the Phoenix Center. They have a $12M debt due by November, and Kermit Williams is using simple math to solve a Finance problem. Not taking into account the Time Value of Money (TVM) over 10 years. Not accounting interest and taxes, and other things that impact money. Just how simply he solved the problem, should let him know it's wrong. Before Finance class, I would address a problem simply, too. I laughed so hard the other day when he said, six-million dollars over ten years, six-hundred thousand dollars a year. "Am I right?" Mr. Newsome and Mr. Chubb actually hated to hurt his feelings and said, "Yeah". Because he was right, six million divided by 10 years is six-hundred thousand, but not in Finance terms. Depending on the economy it could be so much more than that or less. It all depends. One thing for sure, if you owe six million dollars, it will cost you more than six million dollar in the end. That's what Mr. Newsome understand far too well. That simple math could actually create more problems than it solves, because there are accounting rules and transactions that must be shown on paper. Because none of a budget is based on actual money the city has. It's an estimation of what the city MIGHT spend this year. It could be less, it could be more. But whatever they do, it MUST balance. This money that doesn't exist. Without taking this blog to another place, there are rules and those rules need to be followed.

That's why the Mayor asked for things to be put in writing. Tonight, the Council-President, Kermit Williams, asked for certain things to be put in writing. The Mayor asked him to put all his demands in writing, and he leaned to the Clerk and said, "You have to tapes of tonight. You'll get your information from there." When he asked her to put things in writing tonight, I almost fainted. "What's good for the goose is good for the gander". Put all your unreasonable demands in writing. The Mayor said, because Mr. Newsome needs to be clear, because he doesn't want to break the Rule of Ethics in Accountancy. He has to follow those rules or there are consequences. Mainly when audited. People need to know where to go. Follow the general rules and they don't have to look for it, and think your hiding money or stealing. Kermit Williams banged his gavel, that he doesn't know how to use, and said he didn't ask the Finance Director to do anything illegal or unethical. He claimed the Mayor was trying to make the Council look bad. Well, for one, that's not hard to do. But if he, nor the Council knows anything about Finance ethics, how does he know he didn't ask him to do something illegal or unethical? It is obvious to me, and everyone sitting home watching that he is ignorant. From the frustration on Mr. Newsome face it is clear to him, too.

I have a degree in Management. It is the fundamental that you are able to delegate authority. That means, what you don't know, you hire someone to do. That's why Management majors, like myself, take a class in every division of business. I've taken three Accounting class, four Marketing, Two Economic, two Statistics and countless Management and Supervision classes. I've taken three Law classes and Government. As a Manager, it is your job to manage all these people. Even if your not an expert, you need to know a little bit, and enough to be able to function in a room where all of them are communing or when talking to them one-on-one. Many feel this is the reason Trump doesn't like meetings. You need to have a working understanding of it all, and I'm telling you our Council knows NOTHING! The Mayor knows her fair share. Simple accountancy is lost on every one of them and our people need to elect people who understand. Kermit Williams said that he survived two Emergency Mangers and two Mayors. He survive, only because they allowed him to sneak his little accounts through. Since he was still able to get his little bit, he could care less what they did. Mayor Waterman is different. With the help of some good accountants, she found his stash and eliminated most them. I believe with the help of John Balint he is getting some money, but clearly not enough. Cutting down trees?

I want the people of District 7 to hear me, and hear me well. We need better leadership. We need people who know and understand how to run a city in those chairs and stop electing people on their "heart" and friendship and who they Mama is. Support my recall of Kermit Williams and do what we were taught to do years ago:

"If you want to get rid of a snake, get rid of the head."

They are all following his lead. Get rid of him and we'll have a stronger and better city.

Save our city!

NAACP...I gotta go!

I am on a mission to do what I heard Victoria Osteen say on Steve Harvey. She said, "Be who you are, and not who they say you are". Up until the moment she said that, I thought her husband was a crooked preacher that talked to slow. When he didn't open the doors to his church for the people of Houston, I was convinced that I had every reason to not like the man. It's so easy to write-off the rich. Being rich is the best reason in the world for a person that grew up poor and is still poor. Then the day came that I saw his wife sitting talking to Steve Harvey, who has also been a challenge to understand. It's just so hard to like a man that said he would do anything for money. But then came that day and Mrs. Osteen. She was very classy and spoke very well, and said the one thing she wanted for us, is to understand who we are in the world. I've been told that I am a lot of things and many of them are not true, so when she told me to be who I was, for once I could do something without trying. Tuesday I found out the difference between a rich man and a powerful man. Some men want to be rich. Just enough to live well forever, but then some men want the right to control an entire portion of a nation with their wit and cunning. That man needs no money, POWER is a greater drug than money in most cases and it's scary.

President Detroit Chapter NAACP

I saw a flyer for a Black Legislative Caucus and NAACP Conference in Lansing. Wanting to get involved with prison reform, this event would be perfect. The Governor would be there. More importantly the Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist would be there. She just put him over a new committee to help with prison reform. It didn't say anything about having to be a member of the NAACP in order to attend. It just said that you had to RSVP. I did and took off to Lansing on Tuesday morning. I got there check-in and took a seat. I sat alone, because honestly, I didn't know a soul there. I was simply following Mrs. Osteen's advice and being myself. After a while, Wendell Anthony, President of the Detroit Branch of the NAACP joined me. I was pleased, because I had been wanting him to be on my side with my troubles with the Oakland County Sheriff's Department. I doubt if that will happen now, because, although Reverend Anthony is a dynamic speaker and preacher, he's a politician that is power hungry and lacks couth and decorum. When Tim Skubick was there, a newsman and political analyst, he shared his face with me and allowed me to take photos as they talked. I wasn't there for Tim Skubick. I wanted to listen to and meet Garlin Gilchrist the Lieutenant Governor of Michigan. He was to speak write after lunch. I was stoked and ready for the opportunity. Only there was Rev. Wendell Anthony and his entourage. A bunch of "importance seekers" who felt their very existence was improved with the addition of Rev. Anthony in their lives. I couldn't blame them, because I was honored that he sat with me at the table, but I was there first!

He faced me and allowed me to get a picture with Tim Skubick.
I wonder why? He must think he knows something I don't.  🤷‍♀️

The new Executive Director Kamilia Landrum, stood and announced she was going to get her lunch. She expressed the reason why is that she doesn't eat "lunch meat". John E. Johnson, Director of the Black Legislative Caucus, had ordered box lunches. One woman in line compared them to the lunches they give to the kids in the summer lunch program. Rev. Anthony asked "Where'd Kamilia and them go?" He answered himself and said, "Oh, probably to get a real sandwich". I chuckled, but couldn't believe a man of his caliber would be so uppity." He said it with no concern for my hearing his snide remark. I guess he just didn't care. I sat and ate my turkey sandwich on white bread, chips and grape juice. I was a beggar, and "beggars can't be choosers." To move my car at this point, might have meant having to find a new parking lot and possibly more money. I don't eat white bread, but it wouldn't kill me to do it. Plus, I know nothing about Lansing. What if I got lost? I might miss Lt. Gilchrist speak. Rev. Anthony gave a lovely speech, and it wasn't unusual, most men of his esteem can give a formative speech on a dime. He moved me to the point that I gave out a shout of "Hallelujah!" "Fight until you win", and I've been doing that! He never looked at me, acknowledged my existence or even smiled. As the city leader came up to him and shook his hand and stood before me, and also never acknowledged me, all men, I simply sat quietly. I also don't have to buck for my position. I have none.

This is my view of Rev. Anthony with Lt. Gov. Gilchrist.
See the slight?

Finally, it was time for Lieutenant Gilchrist. At the same time, in walks Rev. Anthony's daughter, two young men, and Kimilia. They began passing out food around the table. I had finished mine and just watch the rudeness and pathetic show of superiority with these people, "My people", Black people. No one asked me if I wanted anything. No one even spoke to me, just slid food in front of me like I just didn't exist. While Gilchrist began his speech, they sat with me and began to eat. Rev. Anthony's daughter like she hadn't eaten in days. A grown man, with the chivalry of a dog, lifted his fork and looked at me like I was wanting of his meal. I took video of all the other speeches. This one, however, the one I wanted was disrupted by hungry members of the NAACP. I began taping, but his daughter sat next to me and shoveled food, making noise with her tray, as that grown man blocked my view. They pushed my papers and purse around trying to replace the lid on one of their food trays. Anthony's daughter fought with a lid for a good five minutes in my space, never looking at me, saying "Excuse me", or anything. Just privileged and a sad case of disrespect. They had laid a smorgasbord in front of Rev. Anthony. He ate some, but then shared the rest with the Representative of Ypsilanti. Where the Women's prison is located.  

This is a snippet of what I had to look at while I listen to Lt. Governor Gilchrist. You see the grown man and Anthony's daughter look at me and through me, it was like I wasn't even there!

The first person who sat next to me was a woman named LaToya. She had a tiny laptop with a screen that was cracked from the top, and spread out over the entire screen. I got up at one point and used the restroom. I saw our next speaker, who was running late, while I was out. When I got back to the table, I had said, "I saw our next speaker. She should be on soon!" LaToya nodded and gave me a crack of a smile. I was shocked, because when she first sat down, she had smiled and gave me a warm reception. The only difference now, is that the rest of the entourage had joined us. I was sitting at the edge of an inner aisle. The wait-staff had come to take our trash. She passed the trash right across me and never gave me one, "Excuse me." When I got tired of tray, after box and more trash crossing in front of me so close to my person, I reached out and took the empty pot pie tray. I said, "Here let me help you." She whispered a "Thank you", and Kinilia looked up from her compact and shook her head furiously, "No!" I thought, "So, it is personal." I knew none of these people. I was so frustrated by now, their rudeness was beyond inconsiderate at this point. At one time during the conference, Rev. Anthony's daughter and Latoya had passed a tray in front of me, and sat it on my paperwork and was making an attempt to close it. My papers were being ruffled and thrown all over the table. To stop the disturbance, I reached out and gently took my papers and declared, "Let me get these out of your way." It was clear to me that purpose was to disturb me, because his daughter, after LaToya gave up on closing the lid, spent another couple of minutes closing the lid. Not in front of her, but in front of me, in my space. The noise was so unnecessary, all I heard was the crunch of a plastic, trying to be clamped on aluminum. Rev. Anthony sat quietly, and let his entourage take care of his "light weight". I don't think she has had a class in decorum, either.

So, he knew who I was and was making a claim to all I want. His entourage was blocking my view and in someway trying to make me feel left out. He obviously didn't get the memo. I am drug free all my life. Black folk been trying to get me to do crack since I was 10. I travel to the beat of my own drum. To the man that invite Kid Rock to speak at an NAACP Dinner, is not someone I strive to emulate. Wendell Anthony is a powerful man, but he isn't as powerful as the man I serve. I'm sure I'm going to alienate Delta Sigma Theta, but I've always been an individual. That show of narcissism was lost on me. All it did, was give me something to talk about. To me, Wendell Anthony is Black folks L. Brooks Patterson! So power struck, they can't stand to step aside and give someone else a chance to move us into the future.  I don't like Brooks and I don't like Anthony. His display was just sad and unbecoming a man of his stature. He surely thinks he has a hold on my progress.

I'll be the Judge: Rogue One

It has been a long run so far for the Mayor of Pontiac, the Honorable Deirdre Waterman. Every year this time, budget time, it gets even more crucial. This is the time that the crooked Council-people etch out the places they want to hide their money. The money that doesn't belong to them, but belongs to the people of Pontiac. They make these accounts that they pillage throughout the year. That's why it was vital that the Mayor has a Finance Director, before the fiscal year began. Finance is not Accounting, but they are closely related. Accounting does what it says, it counts the money, but through these accounts that have specific numbers they are known by. Finance is getting money from different sources. This year the Mayor is planning to sell bonds that will help her rebuild our Phoenix Center. But the money she accumulates will become a part of the accounting system of the City. They have a link to Plant Moran, but the Finance Director is another link to the funds. These funds, are then linked to accounts created for the books. Once the money is allocated to a specific department, they become a part of the City's accounting system. Over the years, with the help of the Finance Director, I believe, the crooked Council Members created fake accounts that they pillage. This new man that the Mayor wants to hire is a scholar of epic proportion. The one thing that he is good at counting is grant money. Grant money is easy to steal. It's just sitting there waiting to be appropriated, and it can easily be misappropriated, because most of the time the citizens don't even know it is there.   

Hughey Newsome

Hughey Newsome is a graduate of Harvard School of Business, which says a lot to me. He also has a Master's from Stanford, and a Bachelor's from University of Arkansas. I believe that he also has a PhD in crooked politicians after his tenure in the Flint government. I don't fully understand the reasoning behind him leaving one problem city to work for another. Because the City Council in Pontiac refuse to acknowledge his existence. Even if they don't the Mayor sits him at the panel with everyone else who is a part of her administration. I believe that she is getting his expert opinion on the grant situation, as well as the finances and budget situation in the City. The City is privileged to a lot of grant money, if there is an active grant writer who is good at writing grants, plus whatever grant money the City has in it's pocket over the years. This is important to a thief, because as I said, "Grant money is free money". It can even be designated for a specific program and if the accounting is "shotty" enough, you can say the money is going anywhere you want it to. Like that full-time, now part-time maintenance worker. If they make $18K a year, you can steal a portion of that every month or every two weeks, until the next fiscal year, when you appropriate it for another year. It would be the job of an accountant to know where that money is. I don't think they hired any workers to search the city for needed trash removal, illegal dumping or eyesores, because Going and Irwin sat a pile of rubble for several months. I want to know if the money John Balint gave Kermit Williams is still  in an account in Public Works. Either Payroll Payable or some Payable that is found in the DPW Accounts.

I can also tell from the current budget meetings that Kermit has a secret stash with Balint. He's not letting his fellow Council-Members know about it, either. It obviously isn't enough, because he is bucking at the Mayor with all he has. Including threatening to remove her from the Council Meeting by an Oakland County Sheriff's Deputy. They also keep bringing up court cases where they say the Mayor lost. Gloria Miller says that she has paperwork concerning the Mayor's legal troubles at Oakland County Circuit Court. That if you know anything about me, knows that it is the most corrupt system this side of the Mason Dixon. I met a man whose divorce had been in the courts 12 years. Not to mention that the Oakland County Sheriff's Department kidnapped me twice and held me, because I refused to engage in prostitution. And who systematically create fake stalking charges against me and hold me hostage for my body. So, the idea that the courts in Oakland County found that the City owes Clark-Hill a dime means nothing to me. Clark-Hill is in the process of milking Macomb County out of money for defending, the crook, Eric Smith, shamed Prosecutor in Macomb County. Citing the same lousy defense as they did with Pontiac, Smith, like Pontiac City Council, has a right to a defense. Not without approval of the Executive branch of the City. But it's the City Council of Macomb that is questioning them this time. I know for a fact Clark-Hill as a firm in Southeast Michigan has a judge that will side with them in the case.

There needs to be an investigation into Clark-Hill, too. We know that certain lawyers have a relationship with certain judges. It is those relationships that make the difference in Oakland County between a good lawyer and a bad lawyer. That's why so many people get railroaded in Oakland County, as well as other counties. If a judge wants a defendant in jail and/or prison, you go to jail and/or prison. To go against that would mean the next time your in that court you can't get any action. A lawyer who can't get any action is a bad lawyer. Especially, if you are a "court-appointed" lawyer by trade. You know, I told you about them, before. They sit in the courtrooms and pick up cases as they come up. People who fire their lawyer, hasn't been appointed one yet or for some reason an attorney wasn't made available to them. Since most of those who are been charged with a crime is poor, most of them don't have the funds to hire an attorney. It doesn't matter if you're a hire lawyer or court-appointed, the same rules apply. Those who can afford not to sit in a courtroom and peddle for clients are diverse. Clark-Hill is a shark. Kermit Williams got a cut of that $94K. He never even told his own council that he was speaking with an attorney. The city hadn't hired them, how could they get paid? They couldn't, but the judge has the last say and Oakland County is the most corrupt... I don't want to be redundant.  

The last time the Council sued the Finance Director. Now, they are forcing the Mayor to go rogue and hire Newsome, regardless of their vote. All the Council can do is request that she not hire him. They can't make her do anything. This man is qualified, and the Council doesn't give a reason why they refuse to hire him. But I guess they don't owe the citizen any explanation. What I think the real problem is that they feel they don't owe the Mayor an explanation. The Mayor has a right to hire who she wishes. I beg for the people of District 7 to recall Kermit Williams. It's the only way to move the city forward without so much strife. He is a money grabbing freeloader on the back of Pontiac citizens. He is slowly going broke and will get more and more mean as the months go on. The Mayor's new Finance Director can detect frauds and liars and thieves quickly. He can bring money into the City and account for every penny. That's what needs to be done. Our Council has robbed the City long enough. They claim that mismanagement sent us into receivership. No, it was embezzlement and accounting tricks that sent us into receivership. Accounting is all done on paper, and there doesn't have to be one cent in the bank to "fix the books" to make it look like you have a balance budget and are in the "Black" and not the "Red". Recall Kermit Williams...

Since I started my recall efforts, I've been targeted. In fact, I was targeted before this. When I began to attend budget meetings last year. The effort is being made to make the City funds Kermit Williams own private piggy bank. With the help from the corrupt Oakland County Judicial System, he will always win. He used the same system to try and keep me out of City business. I have my blog and will reach as many people as I can and watch the budget meetings on TV. The trucks he has trying to run me off the road on Paddock (allegedly) won't deter me either. It will just help expose more of the corruption in Pontiac. Remember, it's all about the money.
