Who are Wayne Kids Win!?

I dunno, do you?

I searched the website, but found nothing.

I searched Michigan LARA, but found nothing.

I would have called them but there is neither phone nor email contact to be found, unless a form counts.

I looked up the domain and found it was recently created in New York:

Why am I so concerned about this appropriations campaign?

Because an unknown organization wants to independently administer all this money for the kids, and you know how that typically works out, just look at what Detroit did with the Hardest Hit Funds.

I will not revisit the decades of stealin'  from the Detroit Public Schools but you are free to pull my PACER cases, if they have not been removed from the dockets.

Besides, these Public Private Partnerships have made it perfectly clear that they have all intentions of furthering their "compelling government interests of the highest order" where that order seems to be the work of the tax exempt god.

The brochure states it was "Paid for by regulated funds by Wayne Kids Win".

Well, by golly, that is a new one for me - "regulated", so I shall just assume, as I have nothing tangible to test this concept of regulated funds, for this to mean that there is some form of corporate parental rights going on, so I looked up Chalkbeat.

Someone from the FBI should take a few moments out their day, and take the time to feel my pain.

Seriously.

Make it stop.

This is a foreign invasion to take over government and it always starts with the children because no one cares.

This money belongs to the classrooms and teachers, not anonymous Corporate Shape Shifters.

These petition signatures were fraudulently solicited which will automatically nullify the vote.

The Wayne County Clerk should know better, but we are dealing with Cathy Garrett so I will wait for her tale to unfold when it comes to elections.

And this ends another exciting adventure of stealin' the children, land and votes.

Campaign committee collects 90K signatures for after-school program millage

Three years after Wayne County voters approved a 2-mill, six-year millage to provide funding for its school districts, another proposal dedicated to after-school programs is making the rounds — most likely landing on the March 2020 ballot.

Campaign committee Wayne Kids Win! delivered almost 90,000 signatures to the Wayne County Clerk's Office Tuesday in time to be considered on next year's ballot, said the group in a news release. The campaign hopes to increase access to high-quality after-school programs to children and youth across the county.

Wayne Kids Win! gathered well more than the minimum 53,000 signatures needed from registered voters in Wayne County by Tuesday's deadline to land on the March 10 countywide ballot. Once the clerk's office certifies the signatures, the proposal will be confirmed. The Wayne Kids Win! campaign is set to officially kick off in January.

Wayne Kids Win! announced its petition drive in October. A spokesman for the tax backers told Chalkbeat that the committee includes education leaders, law enforcement leaders, elected officials, child advocates, and business leaders. Supporters Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, Wayne County Executive Warren Evans, Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon and DTE Energy President and CEO Jerry Norcia.

In addition, The Skillman Foundation has also supported the group by funding research to look into potential public funding options that can help finance after-school programs. The organization then talked to several community leaders, informing them of the benefits of after-school programs and the lack of access in some areas.

“The safety of our kids has never been more important,” said Napoleon in the release. “I am truly excited Wayne County voters have shown support for making this once-in-a-lifetime investment in after-school programs that help keep kids safe and on a positive path.”

The proposal would support after-school programs year-round that strive to improve math and reading skills, help develop work-readiness skills, promote safety and provide recreation opportunities for Wayne County children. The group said a proposed rate of 1 mill would cost the average homeowner an estimated $82 per year, or less than $7 per month. If passed, the proposal will provide stable, dedicated funding to develop and expand after-school programs.

All millage dollars would be reported on a public website and go through an independent financial audit every year to ensure taxpayer dollars are spent wisely, said the committee. In addition, an independent oversight board will evaluate programs for effectiveness.

Mark Fisk, a spokesman for the committee, told Chalkbeat that school districts, charter schools, nonprofit organizations and agencies such as parks and recreation departments could be eligible for the funding. He said the money would be collected by the county, but would be administered by the 15-member oversight board and approved by the Wayne County Commission. However, no information was given on how the millage would be split among districts.

The proposal may land in the same year two other education-related millage are expected to be on the ballot for Wayne County residents. In November 2020, the six-year millage is up for renewal, while an 18-mill operating millage for Detroit Public Schools will be on the ballot next August.

The Wayne Kids Win! news comes after Dearborn Public Schools recently rejected a $240 million bond proposal in the November election that would have funded repairs and renovations for the district's school buildings.

“As CEO of a large business headquartered in Wayne County, I know after-school programs work,” said Jerry Norcia, DTE Energy President and CEO. “They provide kids with the skills needed to compete in a global economy — one that demands a skilled workforce, including skilled trades. Wayne Kids Win! is a unique opportunity for our community to make a landmark investment in the future of our young people.”

Cocktails & Popcorn: Wayne County Fired ElectionSource For Jacking The 2018 Primary Election Days Before The General Election

If there were inaccuracies in the Primary Election, then that means the Primary Election for the 13th Congressional District is nullified.

It probably had something to do with the absentee ballots, but, hey, what do I know?

I guess that is why the Wayne County Board of Canvassers deferred certification of the vote to the State Board of Canvassers, who then deferred to...well, we do not know because the vote has yet to be certified or recorded.

Go vote, we need the data.

Wayne Co. dumps election vendor, saying problems remain

https://www.electionsource.com/
Wayne County officials are dumping a software company used to display election results , saying the vendor hasn't fixed issues that led to delays and inaccuracies in the primary with another election less than a week away.

The county clerk said ElectionSource, the vendor used for election results since November 2017, has not completed fixes to its web-based reporting system.

"Less than a few days before the election, ElectionSource has not completed the improvements and at this late juncture we are not going to utilize something that we haven’t been able to thoroughly test,” said Wayne County Clerk Cathy Garrett.

I wonder if she has tested the alternative, if there is an alternative emergency response election plan, which I highly doubt, knowing what I know.  Someone, like...hmmm...I dunno, like the U.S. Attorney General, can easily challenge the General Election results, based upon this theory.

Garrett said in a statement Thursday that the county elections staff has been "working diligently with the web-based reporting vendor, ElectionSource, to prepare for a seamless night of web-based reporting on November 6, 2018."

Wayne County began using ElectionSource in May 2017 . A glitch in the vendor's software resulted after the website received more data than ElectionSource anticipated, county and ElectionSource officials said. You can find out how many people are eligible to vote in advance through the Clerk's Office.

The stall resulted in reporting fluctuations before Garrett instructed Electionsource to take their web-based reporting offline, the county said. The county also said the web-based results had no correlation to the unofficial tabulated results received by the Wayne County Elections Division.

Garrett said the vendor has not corrected its system and they will not use web-based reporting for Tuesday's election.

“I’d rather have accuracy than a glossy presentation," Garrett said in a statement. "An interactive web-based results page won’t matter if the information isn’t timely or properly displayed."

Jewel Ware, Wayne County Commission vice chair pro tempore called for an investigation into the system, saying in August that the glitch was "extremely problematic as the voting process should be error free as well as voters should know the process is without issues.”


In a statement Friday, Ware said she supports the decision to part ways with the software company. “I am in favor of making this change now, but we still need to look at a long term solution for future elections,” she said.

Wayne County Elections Division previously created PDF reports, which were uploaded to the Wayne County Clerk's website.

"This is a much less interactive method for viewing results by the public, but it is the only method available to Wayne County at this time," said a county press release.

Results summaries on election night can be found at the link for Wayne County’s Unofficial Electionswww.waynecounty.com/elected/clerk/election-results.aspx.

If there are no official results for the primary, that would tend to lead some to believe there would be no official results for the general election.
