Hamtramck Blames Emergency Manager and Michigan for Destruction of City

Attorney M. Michael Koroi addressing council on Open
Meetings Act violations

This is an actual resolution proposed by Hamtramck City Council.

Without specific action, without expounding of specific transgressions, the City proposed this Resolution.

 I do not wish to provide an analysis of the legal ramifications at this time, but what I can say is sit back and enjoy the ride.

It must be noted that the city attorney did advise that this was in direct violation of multiple issues of law.

Councilman Hassan retorted with, "Let them sue".

I believe the proper response would have been, "Let them (Michigan) prosecute."

The other resolutions were stricken from the agenda but may be found below.

It must be noted that the city is facing multiple lawsuits surrounding incarceration of residents for non-payment of income taxes, police transgressions, discrimination, and forms of contractual fraud.

RESOLUTION 2015-004

A FRESH START, REBUILDING WHAT WAS DESTROYED

WHEREAS, the City of Hamtramck desires to repair the wrongs inflicted upon The City of
Hamtramck by the appointed State Emergency Manager and Treasury Department under the
Governors direction;

WHEREAS, the City of Hamtramck requested assistance from the State of Michigan under an
outlined plan to assist in correcting the budget;

WHEREAS, the State of Michigan had an opportunity to positively influence the future of
Hamtramck but instead squandered the opportunity devastating the functionality of City
operations and actually increasing City Hall expenses at the cost of public safety;

NOW THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED, by the City Council of the City of Hamtramck, Wayne
County, Michigan that:

The City of Hamtramck is thankful that the State appointed Emergency Manager is gone and it
looks forward to fixing the ills inflicted upon it by the State Treasury Department.

The City is still under the auspices of the State of Michigan and will be for many years in the future.
