  • Your New Scoop Site

    Welcome to Scoop!

    To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

    Some tips:

    • Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
    • Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
    • Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
    • Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
    • If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

    The alleged Party of principle, strikes again.

    Gov. Rick Snyder today announced the appointment of Ron Boji, of Orchard Lake, to the state Transportation Commission.

    The six-member commission is the policy-making body for all state transportation programs.

    "Ron has enjoyed a distinguished career and I look forward to his contributions to this important commission," Snyder said.

    Hey, it's a Nerdy job but, somebody's got to do it...

    Yippie!  Federal road monies for Ron to run his fingers through.

    Who is this paleface Irish turd trying to fool?  Try remembering July 27, 2004

    If approved by U.S. District Judge Paul Borman, McCann, of Livonia, faces six to 12 months in prison and up to a $20,000 fine.

    McCann was indicted in November on charges of improperly using a federal grant to pay two interns to secretly build a database of Democratic Party donors. They performed an estimated 758 hours of political work while on the county's payroll in 2001, the county contended.

    In November 2002, the FBI and Michigan State Police seized thousands of documents from McNamara's county office and the campaign office of McCann's former boss, then-Wayne County Prosecutor Michael Duggan, in a raid. Duggan is now head of the Detroit Medical Center.

    Nice of then AG Granholm, to stall for her corrupt Wayne County friends, yes?

    Boji is president of the Boji Group, where he oversees the management, development and leasing of space in the company's real estate portfolio.

    I Think That's Illegal - Sheriff Benny Napoleon

    Or, Looters gotta Loot... via The Detroit News

    State Treasury officials may soon assume greater oversight of Wayne County's teetering finances.

    State Treasurer Andy Dillon met with county officials this week and laid out a carrot-and-stick plan: If the county wants to continue using the state to float some $90 million in bonds each year, all county departments must agree to issue monthly spending reports to the state and County Commission.

    The plan works like an allowance. If officials go over budget, the County Commission could deduct the overages from budgets the next month -- or take control of their finances, Sheriff Benny Napoleon said.

    "I think that's illegal," said Napoleon, who met Thursday with Dillon.

    More

    Based upon what Sheriff Napoleon will tie his name to, and what 68% of Detroit voters sent to Lansing, what possibly could go wrong?   And, when it comes to former Speaker Dillon, feigning to rein in corruption of his crony Wayne County Democratic Party friends, let's give him a big Handy...

    Irony now sMiles at your State Treasurer pick, Governerd.

    via detroitnews.com

    What do Mitt and Bob have in common?

    Detroit - Mitt's presidential ambitions may meet their Waterloo in the Big Mitten and if they do, Mitt might have Bob to thank.

    That's because Romney and Bob Ficano, the Wayne County executive who is caught in the crosshairs of an FBI corruption probe, have a certain friend in common -- John Rakolta. Rakolta is a prominent Detroit developer whose  company, Walbridge, won a $300 million contract last summer to build the new Wayne County jail.

    In turns out Rakolta is Romney's co-national finance chairman.

    The Rakolta connection couldn't come at a worse time for Romney, whose commanding lead in his boyhood state of Michigan has shriveled to a statistical tie with Rick Santorum.

    The feds are investigating a pattern of pay-to-play in the jail deal and have subpoenaed the county's records in connection with Walbridge. As it happens, Rakolta has been a contributor to the Democrat Ficano, a member of Ficano's finance host committee, and a $25,000 contributor to a non-profit business group know as Edge Opportunities that paid Turkia Mullin to lobby the county development czar.

    Rest here

    It's about damn time someone in the MSM picks up on this.

    Robert Ficano Just Fired Me

    Just kidding... I don't have a contract with Wayne County either.

    The first casualty of Wayne County's severance scandal was already off the payroll when Executive Robert Ficano "terminated" him, documents obtained by the Detroit News show.

    Ficano announced on Oct. 14 that he was firing former personnel director Tim Taylor for his role in a $200,000 severance to Turkia Mullin, the county's ex-economic development director.

    But Taylor's employment agreement as a consultant making $56.28 an hour expired the day before, according to his personnel file that The Detroit News obtained through the Freedom of Information Act.

    That makes Ficano's claims of punishing those responsible "disingenuous," said Commissioner Laura Cox, R-Livonia.

    "That's baloney. It's ridiculous to terminate somebody whose contract had expired," Cox said. "It's misleading taxpayers to say he is taking action, when he is taking no action."

    Laura, is the AG offering ya any help?
