  • 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.

    "You've heard of the bridge to nowhere?  Welcome to the jail for no one."

    Told ya.  You're getting warmer, Ross.  However, that jail for no one will be gobbled up by Dan Gilbert for pennies on the dollar.

    And, you've got a whole gaggle of MI-GOP bootlickers who watched Rakolta line his pockets, main one being, the State AG.  Next question would reasonably be, what did the wife of former State AG (Commissioner Laura Cox) know, and when did she know it?

    Ross, Show More Concern With Gov. Snyder

    I really appreciate WXYZ's Ross Jones.  He's perhaps one of the finest investigative reporters in SE Michigan.

    Yes, that Inkster property.  So, naturally Gov. Snyder, brings Ron Boji into the Lansing fold in the Big Money State slush fund.  Note: "acting as the fiduciary agent for the 21st Century Jobs Fund."  RM readers can't say they weren't aware.  Associations matter.  

    Then, in Wayne County, there is also John Rakolta, who sits on the Board of the quasi-governmental "Development" entity capable of influencing bids on Ficano projects that John's company Walbridge Aldinger, just happens to be constructing the Jail to Nowhere, is also now pocketing the millions in "cost overruns".  Mighty convenient coincidence for Dan Gilbert, to make suggestion of taking that boondoggle jail property off the county's hands, assumedly, for pennies on the dollar, isn't it?

    If only a corporate mouthpiece hadn't clued Johnny in with saying something to the effect, "are you out of your flipping mind while sitting on the WCBDC Board?" when that downtown crony "loan" to freshly out jail felony convict Kwame was made.

    The Preezy of the United Steezy want's you to get your corrupt Wayne Co buffoon under control before he costs Debbie Dingell, a Senate election.  Remember Lon, Debbie and Bob King pulled a lot of strings to place you where you're at as MDP chair.

    C'mon, a former Wayne Co Sheriff (1983-2000) needing multiple drivers under the guise of "personal protection"?  Hackel doesn't.  Really Ficano, exactly how dumb do you think everyone who is watching you could be?

    Today it's Iraqis under Federal investigation.

    via The Detroit News

    Gov. Rick Snyder appointed Ron Boji of Orchard Lake and Craig DeNooyer of Kalamazoo to the Michigan Strategic Fund board of directors Monday.

    The 11-member board promotes economic development and job creation by approving private activity bonds, authorizing community development block grant applications and acting as the fiduciary agent for the 21st Century Jobs Fund.

    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?
