MERRY CHRISTMAS...HAPPY HOLIDAYS...HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE????
Ed Deeb, of the Michigan Business and Professional Assoc, is WRONG for pushing to make it acceptable for restaurants, taverns and bars to allow smoking on New Years Eve. It is now illegal.
It is not a matter of choice - it is the law, for him to promote this unhealthy and dangerous activity that has been outlawed, shows that he has no concern for the public or its health. If a person can't stop smoking for a few hours when out in public places - they have a serious problem - that isn't going to be cured or appeased by smoking more.
Residents who observe smoking in restaurants, taverns or bars - should ask the manager to stop the smoking...if not they should call the police /and or report
violations to the Dept of Health or Michigan Liquor Control Commission...
Email him: info@michbusiness.org or call: 888 277 6464 and tell him - He is Wrong
Ps: Michigan residents got the long end of the bill - with the new law that allows Sunday liqour sales - $160. for a license, is a license to get rich - at the expense of the taxpayers. The $160. fee, doesn't cover the expenses of MLCC or local police inspections or enforcement, and was too low for restaurants, taverns bars etc - who are going to reap / make thousands and thousands of dollars with the new hours.

DETROIT CITY WORKS - DOWNSIZE THE CITY COUNCIL - FIRST
DETROIT WORKS PROJECT - (Mayor Bing's proposal to consolidate neighborhoods) will go nowhere with the current City Council - because they don't know how to 'do the right thing'...they want to expand the Council - under the new Charter, being written.
Detroit has lost over 600,000 residents to less than 900,000 people and still dropping -
The Council and the Mayor should come together to DOWNSIZE the City Council to five (5)..that's right to five, to make the Council more effective, efficient and ethical.
And by reducing the Council - you get a corresponding reduction in the Council budget. The current Council budget for staff - should be reduced - now.
Detroiters deserve better than what they are getting from this Council - any Council member who supports an expanded Council, should resign their job / and or be recalled.
ps: In Detroit electing Council by districts will lead to Corruption, downsize the Council now - and as Detroit is revitalized and people begin to move in - then consider expanding the Council - it probably will be time to revise the City Charter - then.

MICHIGAN WARNING - DRIC / AMBASSODOR BRIDGE
WARNING TO MICHIGAN GOVERNOR, LEGISLATORS - US SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES !!
The BLUE WATER BRIDGE is closed - and has been for a couple of days due to snow and ice - all trucks are standing bye on the Canadian 402 highway or been re-routed to the Ambassador Bridge, in Detroit, which is causing long long long backups on I-75 and caused the closing of an auto plant in Flint, because of a parts shortage.
Detroit, Michigan, and the country needs the Detroit River International Crossing (DRIC) and needs the twin Ambassador Bridge (because of age) eventually the original Ambassador Bridge will need to be closed and demolished, leaving Michigan and Ontario with only two bridges to handle vehicle and truck international traffic. If Maroun can build his bridge without public funds and get Canadian approval - let him.
There should be NO more delays..the Blue Water Bridge closing is a early WARNING of things that can happen to the Ambassador Bridge, which has no backup..
The DRIC and Ambassador Bridge are too important to Michigan, Canada and the USA to delay because of petty bickering or be influenced by campaign money.
The Governor and Legislature should come together and get the DRIC approved in the first week of the new Legislative session - NO delays NO excuses...
