  • 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 more things change the more they stay the same.  Michigan's latest reinvention.

    Eliminating the threat of losing a serious revenue stream, the city will now collect $90 million in income and utility taxes under two bills signed into law today by Gov. Rick Snyder.

    Flanked by Mayor Dave Bing, Snyder approved the bills that "are critically important for the financial success of the city."

    Great photo-op, eh?  I can almost hear Granholm saying, "We're all in this together."

    Bing thanked the governor for his part in shepherding the legislation through and "of building a true partnership between Lansing and the city of Detroit."

    Huh?  Since when in the last forty years didn't Lansing prop up the City of Detroit?  Good Lord!  Even Treasurer Dillon is working up an extra $10M injection of money for you so don't be jonesing, you'll get your fix.  C'mon let's get to what all this flapdooddle is really about...

    Or something like that.

    Detroit-- Mayor Dave Bing, working on plans to reshape Detroit neighborhoods, was getting a walking tour of New Orleans to observe how that city is recovering more than five years after Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast. Bing and other members of his administration were meeting today with New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu, Bing spokeswoman Karen Dumas told The Associated Press. They were in New Orleans to see relocation efforts, blight reduction and land-use strategies.

    "There are a lot of similarities to Detroit in terms of energy ... post-Katrina issues they are experiencing we also are experiencing," Dumas said. "We also are here to learn what they would have liked to have done differently."

    Similarities?
