charged with robbery of armored car BY OARRELL CLEM STAFF WRITER
Westland police now believe that an Oct. 17 robbery of an armored car driver was orchestrated by a company worker who formerly drove the local route. The latest twist resulted in a third defendant, Loomis armored car employee John Brandon Pittman of Detroit, being arraigned Wednesday on charges of unarmed robbery and conspiracy to rob. Pittman, 24, is the cousin 19-year-old Detroiter Jerrel Pittman, one of two defendants already charged in the rob bery outside Sav-a-Lot at Ann Arbor Trail and Merriman, police Sgt. David Heater said. "It was always suspicious from the beginning that this might be an inside job," he said. Company officials became suspicious after learning that John Pittman showed up at the robbery scene even though he no longer worked on that courier route, Heater said.

I am in receipt of Congressman Thaddeus McCotter's latest taxpayer-funded mailing, which unfortunately mirrors his ^»-, previous taxpayer-funded mailings in its self-aggrandizing and deceptive propaganda rather than providing any infor mation of actual value for his constituents. Nowhere is he more disingenuous and deceptive than when boasting of his opposition to the so-called (and utterly mis jm*. named) "death tax." His efforts and those of the Republican *** Party to repeal this tax should more properly be labeled "the •*•" government welfare for children of millionaires act." Of note, my siblings and I received inheritances because of the deaths of both parents during the past eight years. Although our parents were not millionaires, they had sub stantial estates and yet we paid no estate tax. So just who is McCotter shilling for by pushing for repeal of this tax, besides a mere handful of his wealthiest constituents and the big money bankrollers of the Republican Party? I await, but expect that I will never see, a mailing trumpet ing the congressman's continuing votes for the illegal occupa tion of Iraq that his president and his party lied our nation into. Nor do I expect to see a mailing from Mr. McCotter trumpeting (or even explaining) his repeated votes against "i think the celebration shouEd "(think we should honor the "They should have some kind of "We need to have the veterans children's health care, against safe food and water, against be more open, there should Internet neutrality, against good and environmentally sound veterans, they put their lives ceremony to honor what they acknowledged better for their science and against Constitutional rule of law, despite over he more media about it.
