I learned how they were flipping charities and properties from Ray Wojtowicz when he was hanging tough at the PIAST Institute because he lived right around the corner in the Hamtramck Historic District.
They all treated me like I was a worthless, ignorant, savage pagan, who was too vague to hate, yet a blast to celebrate.
It costs $25 to start a nonprofit in Michigan.
Then, when you run for office, sell the nonprofit for $250,000 for your campaign by donating to yourself as a personal contribution.
Then, after you win, or lose, you donate the leftovers of your campaign finance, in accordance to Michigan Campaign Finance Law, to your other nonprofit, that you can either use to sell for your next cycle of perpetual campaigning, like Taras used to do, or, you could invest in real estate, and start doing the early stages of the corporate shape shifting grift.
TAH DAH!
Ray was pimping big stupid money from the Wayne County Property Taxes.
He got a percentage on the money collected, and, if you were really, really nice to him, you could even get some free properties.
My sincerest apologies for missing this most auspicious moment in history.
Detroit — Former Wayne County treasurer Raymond Wojtowicz has died, officials said Wednesday. He was 90.
"Today, I was saddened to hear of the passing of former Wayne County Treasurer Raymond J. Wojtowicz," said Eric Sabree, the county's current treasurer, in a statement. "In 2011, (he) gave me the opportunity to work under his leadership in the Treasurer’s Office. My condolences and prayers go out to (his entire) family during this difficult time."

During his lengthy tenure, the Hamtramck native earned praise for working with distressed homeowners facing tax foreclosure, but also faced criticism because his office oversaw the foreclosure of more than 100,000 properties in a decade, The Detroit News reported.
Alisha Bell, chair of the Wayne County Commission, described Wojtowicz as "dedicated" to his job.
"He was a dedicated fiscal steward, overseeing billions of county tax dollars during his long run as Wayne County Treasurer," Bell said in an emailed statement. "He was a steady and stabilizing hand, helping guide Wayne County through some very tough financial times during his tenure."
Wayne County Executive Warren Evans also commented on the retired official's passing.
"I am saddened to hear of the passing of former Wayne County Treasurer Raymond Wojtowicz who admirably served our 43 communities for nearly 40 years, including his beloved hometown of Hamtramck," Evans tweeted. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the Wojtowicz family at this difficult time.”
When seeking re-election in 2008, Wojtowicz touted his experience in The News, including working with 20 nonprofits to give assistance to people unable to pay their property taxes.
"Every day, there are issues that come up where people need assistance," he told the publication at the time. "I enjoy doing (the job) for the benefit for all of the people in Wayne County."
Wojtowicz retired as county treasurer Dec. 1, 2015, after nearly 40 years in office. He was 86 at the time. A Democrat, he was last elected county treasurer in 2012.
He previously served as mayor of Hamtramck.
A graduate of St. Ladislaus High School and Great Lakes College, Wojtowicz also served as a Wayne County Community College trustee. He was a married father of five children and a grandfather, according to Detroit News archives.
This location on Faber St. in Hamtramck is the site of a planned $1.2 million refugee housing project. Three two-family homes will be constructed with federal housing dollars for a total of six refugee families. Construction is expected to be completed in 2020.
A $1.2 million refugee housing project is coming to Hamtramck.
Using federal housing dollars, Wayne County is partnering with nonprofit groups Samaritas and Wayne Metropolitan Community Action Agency to develop a block on Faber Street in Hamtramck to build three homes that have two units each. The Privateers are here and they have set up their Public Private Partnerships to take over Hamtramck, self-anointed as a sanctuary city.
The housing — called 'Freedom Village' — will accommodate a total of six refugee families and is expected to open in the summer of 2020. Remember, Public Private Partnerships take villages, then pilfers its treasures. This is only a test run and it will not get very far so just sit back and enjoy the show.
The money for the project is from a federal grant program through the U.S. Department of Housing and Development (HUD) that supports low-income families. The housing is for refugees with low incomes, in need of temporary housing after they settle in the U.S. The housing program for domestic low income families is called Foster Care, Elder Foster Care, or Prison.
“Freedom Village seeks to provide a better life to low-income refugees and immigrants by surrounding them with the resources they need to eventually pursue permanent homeownership opportunities,” Wayne County Executive Warren Evans said last week in a statement announcing the project. "We are a welcoming county that derives its strength from the diversity of its residents, and this project epitomizes that core value."
Hamtramck has the highest percentage of immigrants among cities in Michigan, about 44%, according to U.S. Census data. Because no one really cares. You can survive in Hamtramck without papers. There is a network.
It was historically known as a center for Polish immigrants, but today, Yemeni Americans make up the biggest ethnic group, followed by Bangladeshi Americans. The two groups have revitalized a city that was declining in population and transformed vacant areas into thriving business corridors, such as along Conant Avenue.
The city has also taken in Bosnian and Serbian refugees in recent decades escaping the Balkan conflicts.
It's unclear what countries the refugees for the new housing will come from. That decision is made later by U.S. government officials working with resettlement agencies. Samaritas, which formerly was known as Lutheran Social Services of Michigan, has resettled refugees in Michigan over the years. I am going with south of the border. Hamtramck only needs a jewish temple and South American pyramid to be recognized as the ultimate global village.
"We're really excited," Hamtramck Mayor Karen Majewski told the Free Press. "We've long been a home to immigrants. That's kind of how we were born. Through the years, as the political situations have changed, we've welcomed refugees as well."
The refugees will rent the houses, said Wayne County spokesman Keith Owens. They may be able to qualify for vouchers that allow them to pay no more than one-third of their income on housing. Refugees generally receive some financial assistance for a few months after they arrive in the U.S. that can help with housing costs.

The city of Hamtramck will not bear any of the costs for the project, which Wayne County said will contribute revenue to Hamtramck by adding homes to the vacant lots that bring them back onto the tax rolls. Oh, yes they will. Just wait for it or you could ask Corporate Council. I believe he may become a public figure on the local news, soon.
Vacant lots are being used for the new housing. Two of them were owned by the city of Hamtramck, one by Wayne County Land Bank, and one by Michigan Land Bank Fast Track Authority. The Piast Institute used to hold lots of Wayne Country Treasurer property foreclosure meetings, you know, so I thought it would be fun to climb up the chain of command on the land. I would, but it will be more fun to watch the reactions to this statement. I have popcorn, you know.
Wayne County acquired the lot from Michigan Land Bank Fast Track Authority, and the Wayne County Land Bank purchased the two lots from Hamtramck for $1 each, said Wayne County. If, in fact, the Wayne County Land Bank, which never incorporated, purchased the lots in a ceremonious transfer of $1.00, then, how was the transaction conducted? Is there a money order or did someone just toss two bucks on the City Clerk counter and walked away without a receipt?
The Wayne County Metropolitan Community Action Agency, a nonprofit group that helps the poor, will be the property developer while Samaritas will the refugee placement and services provider. The Wayne County Land Bank Corporation is also part of the agreement.
Wayne County Metropolitan Community Action Agency will subcontract with, more than likely, the same people who got the bids for the NSP1 crappy negro removal homes, which was set up as a bait and switch to line a few pockets of some preachers and politicians who did not care about anything but stealin'. Someone is going to get a re-election campaign funded, but I digress.
As part of the agreement, Wayne County will loan $1.2 million at zero percent interest to the Wayne Metropolitan Community Action Agency. The HUD program that's involved with the project is the HOME Investment Partnerships Program, which "supports affordable housing by providing rental housing and homeownership opportunities for low-income families," said Wayne County in a statement. Why is this an external link of HUD.gov?
The project aims to help the refugees with job training, school, and home buyer assistance for future more permanent housing, said county officials. Lots and lots of Social Impact Bond Medicaid billing programs to be create jobs.
“Freedom Village is a beacon of hope and compassion," said Wayne County Metropolitan Community Action Agency CEO Louis Piszke. "The project demonstrates Wayne County’s commitment to America’s long-standing practice of helping people seeking asylum." Freedom Village is just a fun name for a human plantation rathole on a ratline for stealin' the children, land and votes. By calling it a "village" is a public announcement of a privatization initiative of establishing a newly recognized "authority" or rather a fake ass Public Private Partnership like the Detroit Land Bank Authority goes around pretending to be as a "public body corporate", just because they have a foreign corporate parent, in this case, Samaritas, who in turn, claims corporate parental rights over the goods of its human asset management system, like taking out mortgages to buy homes, expanding the realm of its tax exempt land.
The new housing comes at at time of a significant decrease in the number of refugees being admitted into the U.S. I had another video of Bill Clinton explaining the reason on why he was bringing in Syrian immigrants to qualify for the HOME mortgage operation to rebuild Detroit's population, but this video will do just as well, which is why I believe we have ourselves another one of those pesky transposable stealin' models.
The number of refugees resettled in Michigan dropped 75% during the first fiscal year under President Donald Trump, the Free Press previously reported. In the 2018 fiscal year, which was from Oct. 1, 2017, to Sept. 30, 2018, Michigan took in only 647 refugees — the lowest number since 2006. One reason why Detroit, has seen a drop in resettled refugees is because the Detroit Land Bank Authority stole all the properties, then let them get stripped and torn up by the elements so they could that TARP, but then stole all the TARP, so there was no money left to fix the properties, so there was no place to move into to live and vote. Do you not just despise it when your best stealin' plan goes awry?
The number of refugees from the Middle East coming to Michigan has plummeted while refugees from the Democratic Republic of Congo are now the largest group in the state, making up more than 43% of Michigan's refugee population in 2018. Congo has lots of much desired natural resources which makes it only logical to come up with another forced migration socioeconomic test pilot program, more than likely being run out University of Michigan, but hey, what do I know? I know one should ask Karen Majewski.
The housing could help stabilize Hamtramck, which has a poverty rate of about 50% and is facing revenue challenges. The rate of poverty is < 80% using the Hamtramck Public Schools free lunch waivers of Title IV-A 150% below the federal poverty level because I measure child poverty because no one cares. There is a failure to include undocumented individuals which is significant because I said so.
"Hamtramck is probably one of the more desirable places to start as a family the way our community is set up, with the businesses a family needs," said Hamtramck City Councilman Anam Miah. "You can literally walk to anywhere, don't have to rely on public transportation or having a car." http://anammiah.com
"Hamtramck has always been a welcoming community," added Miah, an immigrant from Bangladesh. "I look forward to it being completed and seeing more families come to our community." I look forward to unsealment.
