No voting rights for Saginaw, Obama can't pay people to listen, FAILS!!! and More...

Okay, my blog is off and running for the second day straight but as with the first day, with the death of another talented young person. Kenny McKinley, 23, wide receiver of the Denver Bronco's was found in his apartment last night with what authorities say was a self-inflicted gunshot wound. McKinley is the third Bronco to die since 2007. Others include: Cornerback Darrent Williams and Running back Damien Nash.

In Obama Drama...

President Obama is losing popularity fast. I don't see how people think he was just going to fix the economy in just 2 years when it has been falling apart for at least ten. Obama signed a bill last year making anyone whose service between Sept. 11, 2001 and Sept. 30, 2009 was extended under what's known as "stop loss" eligible for $500 a month in retroactive pay for every month their service was extended. So what's the problem? Not enough service members are claiming the money.

 "As your commander in chief, I'm here to tell you that this is no gimmick or trick," The President said on CNN.

SAGINAW'S VOTING RIGHTS HAVE BEEN REMOVED

Now that I have your attention. Don't worry, your rights are fine. But if you don't register 30 days before the Nov. 2 election your vote will not count.

Speaking of voting, The Saginaw Events Center (Dow Events Center) millage is going to be an important issue on the November ballot. Please support it. Losing the Dow Events Center will be a deadly blow to the city of Saginaw and our economy. Not only will we lose jobs, we will also give the rest of the county the impression that we as a city can not, will not fight to keep our city alive. We have already lost a lot in our city and especially on the East side of the river (Saginaw County Fair, Horse races, Fairgrounds, Gus Macker, Kmart, just to name a few).

Also, THE DOW EVENTS CENTER IS NOT OWNED BY DOW. IT IS OWNED BY SAGINAW COUNTY. THE CITY GAVE THE COUNTY OWNERSHIP BECAUSE WE COULD NO LONGER AFFORD IT. IF THIS MILLAGE DOES NOT PASS, THE DOW WILL BECOME ANOTHER EMPTY/VACANT BUILDING ADDING TO OUR BLIGHT PROBLEM. THE SPIRIT WILL MOVE TO MIDLAND AND SAGINAW WILL BE S.O.L!

So support the millage. It is actually lower than the current one, a reduction.

Remember that the Magic Bean Cafe is trying to be a place for the community to eat and have fun. They offer poetry and will have many events for the kids in October. Check them out by clicking the link above.
