PICKET MAYOR BING’S ‘STATE OF THE CITY’ ADDRESS

Tues. February 22, 6pm, Fisher Music Center, Woodward & Selden  

Dictators Bing, Snyder, Bobb, Hitler

Bing has said he is “joined at the hip” with Gov. Rick Snyder, signed U.S. District Judge Sean Cox’s order diminishing Detroiters’ power over our Water Department, has slashed city jobs and services, and plans a “Trail of Tears” to drive poor Detroiters out of their homes (otherwise known as the “Detroit Works Project”). Robert Bobb is joined on Snyder’s other hip, demolishing the Detroit Public School system. Put them all together —?

Robert Bobb takes DPS Back to Court

 Robert Bobb’s attorneys will be in Judge Wendy Baxter’s court on Tuesday, February 22 at 11 am to seek a stay in her order that bars Bobb from exercising academic authority at DPS. The Judge is being asked to delay implementation of the order, presumably so that they can seek to overturn it in an appeals court. It appears that Bobb does not want to wait to see what happens with the new takeover law and does not want to take the chance of allowing the Board to function for even a few weeks.  

At 10:30 am that same morning is the proceeding in Baxter’s court to discuss the awarding of attorney’s fees to the Board attorneys. It is important for fees to be awarded so that the Board can continue to have legal representation.  Judge Baxter’s court is room 1421, Coleman A. Young Municipal Center at Woodward and Jefferson.
