  • 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.

  • 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. Benson opened her campaign with a promise that she would set a “30-minute guarantee” to Michigan residents.

    2021-2022 LIVINGSTON COUNTY DIRECTORY of National, State, County, Township, City and Village Officials Compiled by: Elizabeth Hundley Livingston County Clerk Howell, Michigan The Courthouse you see today is the second courthouse to occupy this site. The first building was a brick Greek Revival structure in 1847. This courthouse was torn down to make room for the present Courthouse, which was built in 1889. The Richardson Romanesque building was designed by Albert E. French, a Detroit architect. The site was deeded to Livingston County with the stipulation that it be used for county court purposes. Located on Grand River Avenue in downtown Howell, the Courthouse stands stately and proud, with its clock tower visible for miles. Its main structural components are brick, Ohio blue stone, and slate. These materials were selected for their durability. William Kessler and Associates were commissioned in 1975 to update the Courthouse, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Pages. The Victorian atmosphere is enhanced by the restoration of the oak woodwork, braze hardware, and marble floors. It is further complemented by the restoration and recreation of the original colors and decorative paintings. The preservation of the Courthouse offers the opportunity to save an important landmark for future generations to enjoy. 1 To the Citizens of Livingston County: This directory is published to serve as a resource guide to assist you in communicating with government offices and agencies, as well as elected and appointed officials at the local, county, state, and federal levels.
