    Re: Mayor's Travel Restrictions

    Obviously your memory isn't so great, look up their positions or the positions they once held.  As to the trips it wasn't a conference just for Kwame/Detroit, it was a Convention for all Cities.  As far as travel, well maybe if he was like Bush and could travel in his best friend jet that bambozzled all those folks at Enron maybe that wouldn't be an issue.  Tell me, how did you feel when Bush continued with his Party after 911, spending Millions on that for what ? You all need to address the Pres., and how's he's messed up the U.S., but yet so concerned with spending our Money for the War, does he have any concern for the 4,000 + that have died for his own personal vendetta.  Yeah, Kawme lied, but was is it this serious.  Challenge your media to check out every other Mayor, they've got mistresses on Payroll, People being Paid not working; giving contracts out to friends; having affairs, dang didn't Cox just admit that not to long ago and then had the nerve to condemn Kwame ?  I see no one is trying to kick him out..., All I say is be fair don't pick and choose who to pick on and maybe Steve can get some help for the Boozers he so loves...

    Re: Council Hearing Erupts in Shouting Match (Can you guess who's shouting?)

    FROM the FREEP:

    A Detroit City Council special investigative session into a police whistle-blower lawsuit settlement erupted into a yelling match when President Pro Tem Monica Conyers made claims that she was being disrespected.

     The argument began when Conyers asked an independent attorney who was testifying if the council could be sued by Detroit residents for approving the $8.4 million lawsuit settlement.

    Councilwoman JoAnn Watson said: “They can sue you; I voted no.”

    Conyers told Watson to stop interrupting and disrespecting her. She added: “We all know how you voted; you don’t have to keep repeating it.”

    Moments later Conyers interrupted Council President Ken Cockrel as he was questioning Carl Edwards, the Detroit attorney. Cockrel reminded Conyers that he had the floor and banged his gavel repeatedly.

    Conyers railed: “You’re not my Daddy. You’re not going to disrespect me. Grow up! Control your house and learn how to treat women.”

    Cockrel told Conyers that she was “one to talk.”

    As the council members yelled at each other, residents attending the hearings yelled, as well. “You’re disrespecting the citizens!” and “This is a shame!”

    Cockrel took a quick recess to regain order before then breaking for lunch.

    **************************************************

    Is she off her meds? She can't seem to get along with anyone! Wasn't she in a shouting match with the mayor's buddy a few weeks ago? A leave of absence to a treatment center might be just the thing for her.

    ****************************************************

    From the Detroit News Website 4-11-08:

    Conyers' temper has repeatedly gotten her in trouble. Just after being elected in 2005, she was accused of being in a bar fight, but charges were never filed.

    Earlier this year, Conyers threatened to get a gun and shoot a Kilpatrick aide, DeDan Milton, during a pension board hearing.

    *************************

    Hasn't anyone ever told her that RESPECT is something you have to earn, not demand?

     

    Well just remember her during the next election,  She sure is headed for A break down. She was definatly out of order. Where exactly does this crazy person stand on the issues. Seems to me all she has done is threaten everyone. No wonder councel cant get squat done. I just dont get Monicas thinking. Step down Monica and get help. Your not effective during these hard times.
    Well, at least we know now why MONICA AND KK ARE SUCH GOOD FRIENDS!!  BIRDS OF A FEATHER!!!!
    PLUS, THE GHETTO QUEEN HAS NO CREDENTIALS TO SPEAK OF AND NEITHER DOES MARTHA REEVES OR BARBARA ROSE-COLLINS.

    Re: Testing, Testing, 1-2-3...

    Your really out of sync, Coleman Young had these ideas back in the late 70's &  early 80's Casinos, RiverFront Projects; Businesses; etc., so Archer didn't START anything.  Heck, Pontiac sounds like it needs "Brooks" help, Police Fire & Schools so get your facts straight, Royal Oak; Ferndale uh isn't the School funds Bankrupt or on the verge of such ?  Didn't the Mayor of Royal Oak/Ferndale get caught with his mistress in the office... But don't speak on it I wouldn't ask you to do such, You keep on focusing on Kwame while probably the County you obviously live in falls apart.  Archer's son is a  woman abuser and a alcholic, he couldn't raise his own son to do right, so what makes him so great ????

    Good point...a plant to just disrupt.  Disruptions are distractions that remove the focus from where it should be.

      So what you are saying is we should leave Kwame alone and focus our attention on other Mayors who you happen to no are doing the same things Kwame has done and ripped off the taxpayers, of 8.9 million dollars. and also is involved with murder. well lets get them out why have they not been exposed? Ill tell you why, you are doing exactly like Kwame is doing and blaming everyone else for His mistakes. You need to go and find somebody that gives a *** about your post cause I doubt you will get anything off this board, As far as you mentioning Steve well that is another statement you have made that makes me think you must be put on here by Kwames staff or you are Kwame which I doubt because Kwame dont handle his own dirt he has hired help paid for by the taxpayers money to take care of the ugly crap. Kwame hates Steve because he has found out to much truth, and lets the world no what A Thug and crook Kwame really is.

    Monica needs treatment

    From the WXYZ website about this mornings hearing distruption:

    The meeting began to fall apart just before noon when Conyers and Councilwoman JoAnne Watson began arguing their settlement deal votes. President Ken Cockrel brought the meeting back to order, but couldn't control Conyers. The exchange:

    Cockrel: With all due respect president pro tem, I have the floor ... you just jumped on another councilmember about interrupting and now you're doing it to me. I have the floor.

    Conyers: We know you do. But I said based upon...

    Cockrel: I have the floor president pro tem.

    Conyers: The floor's out there.

    Cockrel: I don't want to hear you anymore.

    Conyers: You don't have to hear me. We don't have to hear you.

    Cockrel: Then be quiet because I'm speaking.

    Conyers: No, you not my daddy. You do that at home, not here.

    Cockrel: I'm not your father, but I am the president and right now I have the floor.

    Conyers: Exactly, so treat me with respect. Cause I'm tired of that. Be respectful. You may not do that at home, but you gonna do it up in here.

    Cockrel: Stop interrupting.

    Conyers: Grow up. Control your house and you know how to treat other women better.

    Cockrel: You're the last one to talk.

    Conyers: I'm the first one to talk - Shrek. Shrek! The first one to talk. Don't disrespect me.

    Cockrel: I will call this to adjourn.

    Conyers: Do it baby! Do it! Do it!

    Cockrel: We're going to take a brief recess.

    Conyers: Do it! Cause ya'll not gonna disrespect me up here.

    Cockrel: You're the one who just interrupted me.

    Conyers: No, I did not.

    RE: Monica Conyers

    I don't know if anyone else saw Ms. Conyers' outburst earlier this afternoon.  Like I've said before - there is definately something going on between Ms. Conyers and the Mayor.  Somehow, she owes him big!!!  He must've done something for her in the past and she owes him or he knows something from her past and is holding it over her head.  Her outburst at the City Council Hearings is unexcuseable!!!   It's akin to a female high school bully trying to get her point or opinion heard by screaming, yelling and intimidation through name-calling.

    There is no room on City Council for someone as irresponsible and childish as her.  She needs to be removed from City Council.  And, she herself, needs to be investigated.   I have long thought that there was something not right with her and her actions beginning with her being the only member to vote against the text messages being released.  And yesterday saying that Mr. Stefani "blackmailed" the Mayor and his lawyers.  And now with her outburst at the Hearings!!!  Shrek-Shrek!!!  That's what she called Mr. Cockrell.  My goodness - a City Council member acting like that and for no other reason except that she was asked not to interupt someone else as she herself not a few minutes before asked not to be interrupted.  Lady - you're the one that needs to "grow-up". 

    SHAME ON YOU MS. CONYERS!!!!!

    Sorry to say (not really), these antics among city council members have been going on for yearrrrrrrrrrrrs.  NOBODY RESPECTS THEM, NOT EVEN THEIR OWN LAW DEPT. LOL!!  I don't blame Mr. Johnson (chief corporate council).  WHY, ON EARTH WOULD YOU GIVE ANYTHING "to that body" for approval!  All of em' are just "figure heads".  They don't know a damn thing about LAW, RISK MANAGEMENT, SETTLEMENTS OR EVEN CITY GOVERNMENT for that matter!!  Their job is to do exactly what they did.  SIGN IT!  They act as though those officers should not have been compensated at all!  CITY COUNCIL, YA GOT TRICKED AND DISSED!!!!!!!!!!LOL!!!

    Re: RE: Monica Conyers

    I really must agree with you. I have never been ashamed to say I am from Detroit , but that has changed after all that has been said and done. The world must think we are all just like them. These people work for us and represent all of us ( what a shame) . The city was already going down with the Mayor and his THUGS!!!!!!   I think from now on I will just tell people I am from the Midwest at leave it at that. Shame on all of you !!!!!    Please show some CLASS when you know there are cameras...
