    CHAPTER 3 Networks on the Ground

    CHAPTER 3 Networks on the Ground “There’s only one way to hold a district: you must study human nature and act accordin’. You can’t study human nature in books. Books is a hindrance more than anything else. If you have been to college, so much the worse for you. You’ll have to unlearn all you learned before you can get right down to human nature, and unlearnin’ takes a lot of time. Some men can never forget what they learned at college...To learn real human nature you have to go among the people, see them and be seen.” – George W. Plunkitt1 3.1 Parties on the Ground If one accepts this more di↵use definition of political parties, we should forgive an initial sense of pessimism or despondency toward our ability to study their behavior in a systematic fashion. The diversity of potential actors – from party organizations, to activist networks; from interest groups, to old-fashioned machines – multiplies both the potential environments and potential resources available for electoral intervention. And worse yet, the actions of these extended party networks are often purposefully kept from the public eye. The choice to recruit candidates for office, pressure others out of a contest, or expend resources in support of particular campaigns are at best highly sensitive decisions and at worst skirt the borders of legality.2 Moreover, the individual state primary and nomination contests are scattered over 1Riordan, William. 1905. Plunkitt of Tammany Hall. The Project Gutenberg. 2For example, the same union officials central to the coming example in Pennsylvania’s 13th district are currently under a FBI investigation covering “virtually every aspect of the union’s operations, as well as [the union leader’s] personal finances” (Phillips and Fazlollah 2017).

    Detroit River International Crossing

    A LOCAL RESPONSE TO THE DETROIT RIVER INTERNATIONAL CROSSING RECOMMENDATIONS TO GUIDE A COMMUNITY BENEFITS AGREEMENT PRODUCED BY THE Urban and Regional Planning Program University of Michigan AT THE REQUEST OF THE Delray Community Council SPRING 2007 The University of Michigan Urban and Regional Planning Program http://www.tcaup.umich.edu/urp/index.html Gary Brieschke Anny Chang Luke Forrest Cassia Heron Kelsey Johnson Rebecca Mark Mariana Orloff Joe Shultz Logan Winston Advisors Eric Dueweke Larissa Larsen EXECUTIVE SUMMARY SUMMARY EXECUTIVE The proposed Detroit River International Crossing (DRIC) has the potential to once again inflict a dispropor- tionate burden on the southwest neighborhood of Delray. Until this point, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) and its consultant, The Corrodino Group, have maintained a transparent and admi- rable planning process in regards to the proposed crossing. Despite the process, it is our recommendation that the Delray Community Council (DCC) not only partake in the planning process sanctioned by MDOT and the Corrodino Group, but also attempt to create a Community Benefits Agreement (CBA), a signed contract be- tween MDOT and a coalition of neighborhood groups that outlines how Delray and other residents of South- west Detroit can be fairly compensated for the loss of community and quality of life that would invariably oc- cur should the bridge go through Delray. The following report provides the DCC with relevant information pursuant to a CBA. More specifically, the report provides recommendations as to how the DCC should pro- ceed in terms of securing a CBA, and what they should expect to receive from said agreement.
