| In honor of Marcia Yakes A victim of forced migration by the Detroit Land Bank Authority Much love: 9-25-2015 |
I am sitting on pins and needles, waiting, patiently, to find out about all the elected officials who have acquired properties from the Detroit Land Bank Authority to look the other way to its SIGTARP investigation.
In the spirit of fuchsia...
Garlin Gilchrist could lose Detroit property over blight
Detroit — Garlin Gilchrist II, the Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor, is at risk of losing a fire-damaged duplex he bought from the city if he doesn't clean up the property by Monday, city officials said late Friday.
It would be wise to at least clean up your property while running for public office.

The issue has become fresh ammunition for Gilchrist's Republican opponents who accuse him of "slumlord-like behavior."
Gilchrist, who is Gretchen Whitmer's running mate, bought the duplex apartment in August 2016 in the North End neighborhood for $27,000 from the Detroit Land Bank Authority, city records show. Gilchrist's ownership of the 253 Marston St. property and its condition were first reported by Deadline Detroit. The land bank is the city agency that controls property lost in tax foreclosure. The land bank is the largest landowner in the city.
Wait a minute. Where did he come up with $27,000 and where did it go considering the fact that he did not give me the check, since I was the Chief Executive Officer of the Detroit Land Bank Authority at the time. Seriously, just ask Bill Schuette. He will vouch for me.
I bet Mike Duggan gave him that house. We should ask them both, in separate rooms.

Usually, the buyer must repair and have the property occupied within six months, according to land bank rules. But because Gilchrist bought a larger property, an eight-unit apartment building, compared to a single-family home usually sold by the land bank, he has been given more time to do repairs, said land bank spokeswoman Alyssa Strickland late Friday.
Still, the land bank "finds the current condition of the exterior ... to be unacceptable."
Oh, I remember that reconveyance language in the jacked up quiet title action for those fake quit claim deeds. The Detroit Land Bank Authority made that six month stuff up. Seriously. How could they enforce language in a contract with an entity that had Title Source cash the checks for them because they never incorporated. There is no city code on that.

Gilchrist was given until Monday to provide proof the exterior of the property is clean and secure.
Dude, go clean it up.
Dude, go clean it up.
"If Mr. Gilchrist fails to provide the requested evidence of clean-up at his property, the Detroit Land Bank Authority will issue a notice of reconveyance," the statement said, which means the city agency will take back the property.
Oh, this should be good. I can issue notices, too. Wanna see?
NOTICE: THE DETROIT LAND BANK AUTHORITY HAS NO LEGAL STANDING TO TAKE ANY LEGAL ACTION OF RECONVEYANCE BECAUSE THEY NEVER INCORPORATED
Garlin should sue the Detroit Land Bank Authority, on behalf of all the people of Detroit who have previously purchased properties to later have them snatched back because they could not secure funding or repair within the fake time frame due to the dirty deeds, but he will not, because his handlers will be mad and it would be a messy obstacle in the gubernatorial campaigns.

Gilchrist issued a statement Friday, saying he's "exhausted his personal resources" to do extensive repairs to the duplex at 253 Marston and is trying to continue repairs by securing a loan. City records show Gilchrist filed permits for electrical work to be done in 2016.
I bet one of the reasons why he cannot get financing is because the deed is a hot mess, if it even has the proper lot numbers and address on the deed.

"The apartment building is not in the state that I want it to be in, even with the significant progress that has been made thus far," Gilchrist's statement read.
If you think it is hard to rehab an apartment building, how do you think it is for people in Detroit who rode out the Grand Fraud (that is what I am calling it for now on)? Oh, I forgot, that is that no-no subject of poverty no one in Detroit is supposed to talk about.

He added "it has been a struggle to secure a loan" in part due "to my pursuits of elected office in 2017 and now again in 2018." Gilchrist unsuccessfully ran for Detroit City Clerk last year.
All I have to say is that it is quite obvious you are not in the clique, because, if you were, you Michael Brady would have hooked you up with a New York Bank of Mellon mortgage that they would have wiped out for you in another quiet title action so you would have the cash to fix it up.

"I remain committed to securing the financing, ending the holding pattern that this project has been in, and bringing the apartment building renovation to completion as soon as possible."
No one is going to lend to you because it is Corporate Shape Shifter under federal investigation of the U.S. Treasury. If you are going to run for public office, it would behoove you to find out about the federal investigations going on in the State. It is public information, you know.

Whitmer said after the Friday night gubernatorial debate that her campaign had known about Gilchrist's property but was not fully aware that immediate action was needed. "He's doing his best to get it remedied, and I'm confident he will," she said.
Sssshhh.... Gretchen did know about the Detroit Land Bank Authority because she was over there at Dickerson Wright, one of the "Legal Geniuses" (trademark pending) who worked on the Grand Fraud of Detroit.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Bill Schuette pounced on the revelation, describing Gilchrist's actions as "slumlord-like behavior."
I knew Bill was going to do a comeback.
Hey Bill, did you know there is a strong possibility that there are fake absentee voting ballots coming from those apartments? You should check on that for me.

"Garlin Gilchrist has shown he is too extreme for Michigan based on his negligent handling of this property, his past support of Hamas, criticism of Israel and its supporters and other radical positions,” said Stu Sandler, spokesman for the Schuette campaign in a written statement Friday.
Well, golly gee, Billy! You know the Detroit Land Bank Authority did not possess any instrument of authority because you called me a Public Nuisance in the Court of Claims when I snitched on you for not doing anything about foreign entities coming into Michigan stealin'.

The anti-Israel charge is a continuation of the Republican attack campaign that's based on a Gilchrist 2009 tweet that he later apologized for. Gilchrist is the executive director of the Center of Social Media Responsibility at the University of Michigan, a position from which he plans to take a leave if elected in November.
Oh, that is rich.
Oh, that is rich.
Whitmer on Friday countered that Gilchrist, a native who had lived in Washington state and Washington D.C., wanted to make an investment in the city and "was excited to come back home."
"He's a great return story of the kind of people we want to come back to Michigan," Whitmer said. "Obviously people have bumps, and he's trying to do his best to get it remedied, and I'm confident he will."
"The kind of people we want to come back to Michigan"? Oooo, Gretchen, you may want to rethink that statement. It comes across as a bit, how shall we say, "selective" in choice of forced migration. What about us? We live here, in Michigan, in Detroit, in extreme poverty? Drats! I said that word again.

The controversy comes the same day as the first gubernatorial debate between Whitmer and Schuette at 7 p.m. in Grand Rapids. The debate will be live streamed online at detroitnews.com and simulcast on several other television stations around the state.
It was plastic. I did not even watch.
Bill and Gretchen should refer this matter to SIGTARP for further investigation.
