Event: Walling / Williamson Crunch Time is Here.

Well, how disappointing.

In a move that may have been decisive, the AFL-CIO has formally endorsed Don Williamson. The Flint Journal article mentions allegations of bias; that the endorsement was very conveniently timed, given the renewal of key contracts. I don’t know enough about the scene today to comment on the likelihood of that, but it’s not necessary.

Event: No Dwarves, No Cars, No What, Whatever (what ever).

Thank God the Flint Journal has continued it’s 24-7 coverage of the Dwarf Decapitation Crisis. This is their third article on the subject in the last week.

Event: Flint’s many possible mayors.

Evidently people were too belligerent to even have a debate. Which is a shame. This is an important election.

Tomorrow, Flint will select the two mayoral candidates who will face off in November. I’m calling Walling and Williamson.

Anyway, if you live in Flint, you should vote.

Event: Flint crime rate improves, but why?

The Flint Police Department is making much out of the decrease in crime so far this year, extrapolating on wide reaching economic and cultural differences to account for the change:
