CM Doug Zylstra explains former Republican Attorney General of Michigan Mike Cox is on record saying the commission doesn't have the authority legally to replace the health administrator without cause. Then Jacob Bonnema says CM Curran's question went unanswered... #OttawaCounty
Rewind 5 minutes, and you'll see Curran asking about the review process for the position. Moss quickly pipes in, unrecognized by the chair, and proceeds to sandwich grandstanding between two questions.
This is corporate misogyny on full display. Joe Moss is a pig and a coward.
Moss makes a last ditch effort to coach CM Cosby behind the scenes in an illegal closed session deliberation; he doesn't even have the floor. He loses his "MOTION!" to recess.
Cosby drops the bombshell: Ottawa Impact illegally conducted county business using campaign donations.
CM Zylstra asks a few questions that make it very clear CM Cosby and Ottawa Impact were acting as commissioners before they were sworn in.
Cosby thinks this is a game, and smirks as she repeats a cringy talking point built on hope for a likely non-existent legal loophole.
Doug asks important questions and Joe Moss interrupts to grandstand, equating violating OMA to helping citizens take back their government.
Doug expertly redirects the conversation back to actually broken laws. Cosby contradicts herself, backtracking from deciding to considering.
Finally, as a palate cleanser, I give you @DrRobDavidson, eloquently outlining exactly how Commissioner Cosby implicated herself and all members of Ottawa Impact in a conspiracy to circumvent the Open Meetings Act and enrich Joe Moss' business partners family.
Reading my mind at the time, @DrRobDavidson hopes @MIAttyGen@dananessel watches these videos to see these unforced errors snowball into entire confessions of major criming, including having a political non-profit like Ottawa Impact correctly oversee county business.
If Gretchen Whitmer stood at the podium tomorrow in front of a press conference and said she's replacing top level government staff with a list of people she got from Planned Parenthood, it would be Armageddon across the Mitten.
This is the county level right-wing equivalent.
The Kallman-Moss conflict of interest isn't deniable.
If our attorney is replaced by a stooge, when Joe Moss tramples on the rights of residents and gets inevitably sued, his business partner's family gets paid to defend the county
Ottawa Impact gets more donations from them.
So in short...
The KallMoss grift is real.
Joe Moss is a swine and a coward.
Ottawa Impact is a crime family, and not even the fun kind, the whìte natìonalist kind.
MI AG should look into these videos.
And if you are shocked or upset by any of it, please like and retweet!
Here's this entire thread in one easy to share link for anyone who wants to put it up on other platforms:
David thinks all of this is a joke. He has access to a volunteer list, and he used it to try to chase tail. In any reasonable employee situation, he would have been terminated and locked out of his accounts on the spot.
Ottawa Objects on Facebook is not safe.
I only deleted the top tweet in that thread in case this happened. Here is a link back to the rest of the thread, directly to some of the most concerning screencaps.
As my Cowboys fan cousin would say in a similar situation, this ain't my first rodeo.
You know how racists like to use dog whistles to signal they think more Black and Brown people living in a neighborhood leads to increased gun violence?
NIMBYs in Berkeley, CA are trying to codify that racist talking point into their state's environmental law to block housing.
That's right, they're fighting to block housing for students in Berkeley of all places, and in doing so they don't care that they're writing a law that lets white supremacists legally segregate their community with fear-mongering.
More than 50 years after the Fair Housing Act made housing segregation illegal nationwide, Berkeley, which gave birth to racist single family zoning to keep Black & Asian people out, may relegalize segregation, a few miles north of where the Black Panther Party was formed.
Jenison is having a school board meeting. Let's see how it goes...
Tim is a local little league and robotics coach who moved here 5 years ago. His concern is that 2 board members believe government money should be used to fund private and charter schools. He says that's awful.
JJ is upset about happened at the Wyoming basketball. She ashamed to be an alumnus.
Nancy used to be mayor of Holland, until she was unelected for having the worst #cannabis take you'll ever hear in a Twitter video. Because of this video, she's now refusing to debate @LarryJackson86.
Pastor Spencer is happy to tell you what he's telling Nancy to think though 😬
.@DeboerNancy was also unelected for blocking a city ordinance that would have provided protection for LGBTQ+ residents in areas of housing and employment.
Instead of being honest with voters, and saying she was forcing the community to adhere to her religion, she lied. A lot.
Every Pitch, Every Campaign: 1) Establish Urgency 2) Connect to Concrete Action 3) Make a Hard Ask 4) Eliminate Excuses 5) Repitch Until You Get at Least 2 Yeses
Establish urgency. This election is critical. The issues on the line matter and will be decided on election day. Not voting is a *public* statement that those issues don't matter to a potential voter.
Connect to a concrete actions. Knocking on doors at a scheduled canvass. Phone banking during an established call time. Connect them to relational organizing apps and lists. Let them know these actions answer the urgency established in the above tweet.
