what the?
Garden City’s mayor says residents who wanted to plead with the City Council to save their homes weren’t allowed to speak because officials had a pizza party planned after the meeting.
Speaking one day after he and other City Council members walked out of session without taking public comment from at least seven former homeowners facing eviction, Randy Walker said the meeting’s main purpose was to swear in new officials.
Those meetings don’t usually feature public comment — and a party was planned immediately afterward, he said.
“It’s a happy occasion,” Walker said. “We had food waiting. We had pizza coming out of the oven at 7:45 (p.m.).”
Uh, you guys can duel now? Stay of my blackberries though!
It is no longer a crime punishable with jail time in Michigan to swear in front of women or children, or sing the national anthem out of tune.
The Michigan governor, Rick Snyder, signed seven bills on Tuesday eliminating outdated laws, including some having to do with duelling, trampling blackberry bushes or refusing to help fight a forest fire, according to a statement by the governor’s office.
