To get the greatest value out of your community’s membership, I encourage Chairperson you to take advantage of both. Supervisor, This issue of Semscope highlights some of the direct member services SEMCOG provides… Clinton Township services that can bring innovative approaches to enhancing your community, help you more efficiently deliver government services, and work collaboratively with your neighbors. Nine communities in Macomb County, including mine, benefitted from an Access Management Study along Gratiot Avenue. It identified recommendations to improve traffic flow and safety. We are now working to implement the recommendations. SEMCOG efforts like this are more important than ever as Governor Snyder seeks to encourage governmental efficiency, transparency, and collaboration through changes in revenue sharing. If you have not taken advantage of these services, now is the time. You can’t afford not to. At the regional level, this issue includes the legislative priorities that we are pursuing. Speak- ing on behalf of the 160 members of SEMCOG on issues of importance to the region will yield better results than any of us advocating alone. I encourage you to share our collective priorities with your representatives in Lansing and Washington. With less state and federal government help available, we know that the region’s future is up to us. Reinventing Southeast Michigan was the focus of our recent General Assembly. The need for reinvention was reinforced by the release of Census numbers showing regional decline in population and doubling of residential vacancies. We discussed what we need to do to: • Return to economic prosperity • Deliver fiscally sustainable public services • Provide quality infrastructure • Protect and enhance environmental assets • Provide access to services, jobs, markets, and amenities • Create desirable communities We are approaching our regional planning in a different, more comprehensive, and holistic way. We can’t move toward economic prosperity without considering sound, reliable infra- structure and desirable communities. We can’t provide fiscally sustainable public services without a strong job base to generate needed revenues. And, we can’t focus on success in any of these areas unless we define what success means and how to measure it. The General Assembly took an important first step on the path to managing our own destiny. Please stay tuned and involved as we seek additional input to move Southeast Michigan’s reinvention forward. 2 Spring - 2011 What have we done for you lately? emscope Region collaborates S Federal Emergency Management Agency on aerial imagery agrees to use SEMCOG data for flood maps What is Aerial Imagery?

    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.

  • Smarter on Crime, Better for Communities
    SMARTER on crime BETTER for communities Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey and Speaker Lee Chatfield are joined today by a bipartisan group of seventeen Michigan Senators and Representatives sponsoring bills based on recommendations from the Michigan Joint Task Force on Jail and Pretrial Incarceration. The package aims to focus jail use and related taxpayer costs and collateral consequences on cases that involve a danger to the public. The bills address decision points throughout the justice system that contribute to Michigan’s county jail populations, balancing the goals of protecting the public and safeguarding the rights of all people. The Task Force found that Michigan’s jail population had tripled in just 35 years, that most admissions were for misdemeanors and low-level offenses, and that changes to state law could safely reduce jail populations, protect and support crime victims, and prioritize law enforcement and judicial resources for immediate threats to public safety. The bills in this package: ▶▶Eliminate driver’s license suspension ▶▶Prioritize alternatives to jail when as a penalty for offenses unrelated sentencing people for low-level to dangerous driving. offenses. Driving with a suspended license was the While most people pass through jail quickly, third most common reason for jail admission those who stay longer than a month take in Michigan. Driver’s licenses can be up the majority of jail bed space and are suspended for a wide variety of offenses, often serving a criminal sentence. Unless even violations unrelated to driving. In 2018, necessary, low-level offenses should be nearly 358,000 licenses were suspended for sentenced to jail alternatives, and many failure to appear in court or failure to pay mandatory minimum jail sentences should court fines and fees.

  • The Campaign for Environmental Justice in a Southwest Detroit Border Community
    Building Bridges Where There is Nothing Left to Burn: The Campaign for Environmental Justice in a Southwest Detroit Border Community by Amy Erin Krings A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Social Work and Political Science) in The University of Michigan 2015 Doctoral Committee: Professor Lorraine M. Gutiérrez, Co-Chair Emeritus Professor Gregory B. Markus, Co-Chair Professor Donald R. Kinder Professor Michael Spencer ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am heavily indebted and grateful to many people who guided me and supported me throughout my dissertation process. Perhaps the most meaningful part of my dissertation is that I was able to study a group whose mission I believe in. I want to thank and acknowledge the leadership of the Southwest Detroit Community Benefits Coalition for granting me access to their campaign and for helping me to better understand the impact of living or working within an environmental sacrifice zone. In particular, I need to thank Tom Cervenak, who mentored me in 2003 when I was a social work intern, and who welcomed me back to Southwest Detroit in 2010. Thank you Simone Sagovac for being patient with me and generous with your time. Thank you Scott Brines for your vulnerability, humility, and kindness. Thank you Debra Williams for teaching me about hope, and thank you Rashida Tlaib for teaching me about courageously and strategically speaking the truth to power. In addition to the Delray residents and members of the Community Benefits Coalition, this dissertation would not have been possible without the consistent support of my dissertation committee--Donald Kinder, Michael Spencer, and my co-chairs Lorraine Gutiérrez and Greg Markus.
