  • Official Press Statement the Virus of Voter Suppression Is Now The
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: LaToya Henry March 31, 2021 (313) 447-6404 OFFICIAL PRESS STATEMENT THE VIRUS OF VOTER SUPPRESSION IS NOW THE EPIDEMIC WITHIN OUR DEMOCRACY! Rev. Dr. Wendell Anthony, President, Detroit Branch NAACP DETROIT – Standing underneath the canvass of a notorious slave plantation in Wilkes County Georgia, Governor Brian Kemp and six white male Republicans signed into law a voter suppression bill. Among other things it makes it illegal to give food and water to Black people while standing in line to vote. The state of Florida under Governor Ron DeSantis is now considering the same law. It reminds one of the era when it was illegal to the point of death to give Black’s food, water, and shelter as they escaped from slavery to freedom. The symbolism of this historic trauma and continuous fallout from the antebellum period of enslavement to the 21st century of resentment could not be more clear. A Black female Georgia State Representative Park Cannon, who knocked on the door of the governor to observe the signing of this law, was handcuffed and arrested 50 seconds after her first knock. This act was in stark contrast to the hundreds of white insurrectionists who stormed the nation’s capital, knocking down doors, breaking windows, and injuring over 160 officers and security personnel. The insurrection led to the death of five people, among them police officer Brian D. Sicknick. They beat police officers with American flags and their poles while attempting to stop democracy from proceeding on course. It is in contrast to those who were involved in last year’s storming of the Michigan State capital with AK-47’s, AR-15’s, side arms, confederate flags, and hangman’s nooses.

  • S/L Sign on Letter Re: Rescue Plan State/Local
    February 17, 2021 U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 U.S. Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Members of Congress: As elected leaders representing communities across our nation, we are writing to urge you to take immediate action on comprehensive coronavirus relief legislation, including desperately needed funding for states, counties, cities, and schools, and an increase in states’ federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP). President Biden’s ambitious $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan will go a long way towards alleviating the significant financial strain COVID-19 has placed on our states, counties, cities, and schools, and the pocketbooks of working families. Working people have been on the frontlines of this pandemic for nearly a year and have continued to do their jobs during this difficult time. Dedicated public servants are still leaving their homes to ensure Americans continue to receive the essential services they rely upon: teachers and education workers are doing their best to provide quality education and keep their students safe, janitors are still keeping parks and public buildings clean, while healthcare providers are continuing to care for the sick. Meanwhile, it has been ten months since Congress passed the CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Fund to support these frontline workers and the essential services they provide. Without significant economic assistance from the federal government, many of these currently-middle class working families are at risk of falling into poverty through no fault of their own. It is a painful irony that while many have rightly called these essential workers heroes, our country has failed to truly respect them with a promise to protect them and pay them throughout the crisis.

  • CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE October 20, 2017
    MCALVEY MERCHANT & ASSOCIATES CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE October 20, 2017 CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE WEEK OF OCTOBER 16, 2017 Integrity, Individual Attention. Precision Strategy. Proven Results SENATE PASSES BILL TO SHIFT SOME MILLAGE FUNDS TO CHARTER SCHOOLS A bill introduced by Sen. David Hildebrand (R-Lowell), and passed by the Senate this week would give charter schools access to funds from enhancement millages which were levied by intermediate school districts. Currently, school districts use enhancement millages for various projects, including hiring teachers, technology upgrades, purchasing materials and more. Supporters of the bill, which passed in the Senate 23-14, say that it makes funding for students more fair because it spreads these funds to charter schools in the districts. According to the sponsor, the bill would not apply to existing enhancement millages, but it would require districts to include charter schools in millage renewals. Critics, including Sen. Curtis Hertel (D-East Lansing) and Senate Minority Leader Jim Ananich (D- Flint) said that the bill stretches school funding too far, and that voters originally approved the millages knowing that the money would go to traditional schools. Six counties in the state have passed them including Kent, Kalamazoo, Midland, Monroe, Muskegon, and Wayne. BENSON ANNOUNCES FIRST DEM BID FOR SECRETARY OF STATE Jocelyn Benson, a Democratic attorney and former dean of the Wayne State Law School, announced her bid to become Michigan’s next Secretary of State this week. This will be her second run at the position – she was the Democratic candidate for Secretary of State in 2010.

  • In the Ongoing JUDGE BLOCKS GOVERNOR's VAPING
    Volume XXXI - Issue 42 October 18, 2019 REASON FOR STALLED SUPPLEMENTAL? AD BOARD MANEUVER – In the ongoing saga of “will they, won’t they” regarding adjustments in funding for the 2019-20 Fiscal Year budget, Republican legislative leaders have now cited Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s choice to use the Administrative Board to move funds as the reason for not moving a supplemental thus far. Noting it was the first time in almost 30 years that a Governor used the Board to move funds, leaders did not appreciate changes in funding being made without their input. Considering neither party was willing to concede on their proposals, forcing an almost shutdown of the state government, governmental insiders feel that argument is moot at this point. As the year draws to a close, those affected by the vetoes and transfers are faced with the possibility of not knowing what monies they will or won’t have to start the new year. However, Republican leaders are telling Michigan residents to go to the Governor with their funding issues as the budget in their eyes is “done”, and Governor Whitmer is telling them to go to the Legislature with their concerns to urge supplemental consideration. As of Thursday, speculation was rampant that Republicans could agree to move a supplemental if the Governor would agree to essentially neuter the transfer authority of the State Administrative Board. Republican leaders have been candid, expressing concerns about the potential repeat of an inter-department transfer bonanza when or if they send the Governor a supplemental. The Executive Office was quick to pan the idea of removing the Board’s ability to transfer, with Governor Whitmer stating, “I'm not going to change the scope and powers of the Executive Office…They've been there for 98 years.
