No mention of Child Protective Services snatching the children for not being in school or licensed day cares.
There was only one, fleeting mention of foster care and adoption, without addressing how children are bounced and traumatized, where many are legally kidnapped on the basis of hailing from "The Poors" (always said with clinched teeth).
Indiana completely ignored these horrors, under the leadership of Emperor Pence.
The focus was about restarting the economy by opening up child care, where there was no mention of special needs and autistic children.
Can you imagine an autistic child wearing a face mask?
Neither can I.
The only mention of child care and educational structural inequities was dealing with race.
It is about targeted, geographic populations, like Flint, which was intentional, by deflecting to the re-segregation by using the arcane property management labeling variables of race.
Dan Kildee made no mention of the intentional poisoning of Flint children.
No one spoke upon the petri dish called Detroit, and the other lab rat programs which generate propaganda medical literature off the tiny human lab rats.
No one spoke upon lead in the homes, lack of transportation and jobs, for the parents, but there was a brief mention of quality housing, but did not speak upon the housing that was stolen through Public Private Partnerships like the Detroit Land Bank Authority, forcing families to migrate outside a geographic municipal region, which is called stealin' the children, land & vote, more readily recognized, I hope, as gerrymandering.
I consider this hearing to be nothing but another matter of record, in the form of testimony, for the prosecution of war crimes.
Instead of focusing all energy on "targeting funds" like Medicaid Expansion, how about identifying why we treat our children as chattel, and stop it, like stopping Medicaid Fraud in Child Welfare.
Once upon a time, a bunch of Predictive Modeling Crappers got together at DAVOS to pitch more of their latest and greatest human asset management Social Impact Bond programs so they can make U.S. law and policy without any public input, completely ignoring the APA because they are all foreign corporations and they intentionally falsely advise Trump.
$10 Million Challenge launched to help crowdsource solutions to social challenges
The Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth and The Rockefeller Foundation today announced data.org as a platform for partnerships that will continue to build the field of data science for social impact. This is the next chapter of a $50 million commitment Mastercard and the Rockefeller Foundation made last year to launch a transformational model for philanthropy.
As part of today’s announcement, data.org launched a new $10 million impact challenge to crowdsource scalable and sustainable data science solutions for non-profit, civic and government organizations.
Michael Froman
VICE CHAIRMAN OF MASTERCARD
With the data.org domain name, The Rockefeller Foundation and the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth are building on the success of the original DATA.org—launched in 2002 by a group of innovative social entrepreneurs, including rock star and philanthropist Bono, to alleviate debt, AIDS and trade inequalities in Africa. In what ultimately became the ONE Campaign, they focused on driving evidence-based approaches to development.
“Our commitment to building the field of data science is rooted in the belief that data-driven insights can deliver transformational change that improves the lives of vulnerable people and helps solve the world’s most pressing challenges,” said Michael Froman, vice chairman of Mastercard. “We must make sure that even as people have unprecedented access to technology, we don’t allow a new digital divide to emerge.”
“While the private sector has been gathering data and using data science analytics, such as artificial intelligence for many years, most non-profit, civic and public sector institutions still lack the resources to do so,” said Dr. Rajiv Shah, President of The Rockefeller Foundation. “Just as these tools have given businesses competitive edges, enabling them to find nuanced ways to improve productivity and market impact, data science can increase the speed, depth, and accuracy of analyzing a social challenge, pointing to solutions, partnerships, and innovative investments that can provide impact.”
“Data science can increase the speed, depth, and accuracy of analyzing a social challenge, pointing to solutions, partnerships, and innovative investments that can provide impact.”

PRESIDENT OF THE ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION
The new data.org seeks to build the capacity of non-profit organizations with training resources, access to data sets and open-sourced tools that help these organizations harness the power of data insights and analytics to enhance their efforts. This will be done in a way that brings more people and organizations together to effect positive social change, all while adhering to principles of responsible data use. Its current partners include DataKind, Benefits Data Trust, Community Solutions and Tableau Foundation. All of these organizations are leveraging data science to help solve complex societal challenges.
For example, in partnership with nonprofit organization DataKind, the John Jay College of Criminal Justice was able to use predictive analytics to identify students at risk of dropping out and intervene with resources to support them, resulting in a dramatic improvement in their graduation rates. Community Solutions, a nonprofit working in more than 80 cities and counties to measurably end homelessness, partnered with Tableau Foundation, to fuel the initiative’s progress through the use of data analytics. And finally, Benefits Data Trust, a national nonprofit organization based in Philadelphia, is helping millions of low-income American families access the safety net benefits available to help them through the use of artificial intelligence and leveraging the power of data.

A proposal for a $569 million bond failed, then passed and could fail again after the discovery of missing ballot box from the November election.
A proposal for a $569 million bond to build two new high school buildings in Midland failed by 25 votes in the November election, a margin slim enough it set off calls for a recount.
The ballots were recounted manually, and to the delight of Midland ISD officials, the results flipped and the proposal passed by a margin of 11 votes.
But last week, a Midland elections staffer found a box on the bottom of a shelf in the office containing 836 ballots that weren't tallied in the recount. Those votes threaten to again reverse the election results, which school officials are counting on to generate hundreds of millions of dollars for school construction.
The elections office obtained a court order to open the ballot box on Monday morning, when staffers began to count up the missing votes.
The first and unofficial vote tally on Nov. 5, which used the electronic ballots, took the missing ballots into account. The paper ballots are a physical copy of how constituents voted on the electronic system. The paper ballots came into play during the manual recount, which was missing the more than 800 ballots, making the recount number inaccurate.
The revelation of the vote discrepancy doesn't automatically change the election result, however. The result of the manual recount was canvassed — or made official — on Nov. 15, when it was signed by County Judge Terry Johnson.
But last week, representatives for Better Bond for Midland, the special political action committee opposing the bond, filed to contest the election results. We Choose Our Future, the SPAC in favor of the bond will also contest.
The missing ballot box is just the latest reversal in a roller coaster ride for this particular bond proposal. On election night, Midland voters watching the polls closely initially believed the bond passed by 18 votes, because of the results posted on Midland County's election website. But a week after the posting, officials clarified to reporters that the tally didn't include mail-in votes, which revealed it had actually failed that night, according to Deborah Land, elections administrator for the Midland County Elections Office. We Choose Our Future quickly called for the recount.
The Office of the Secretary of State has advised Midland officials of how to proceed and “will continue to provide appropriate assistance to Midland County officials as this matter proceeds forward,” wrote Stephen Chang, a representative of the office.
Land said she might have been the one to have moved the ballot box in question that led to it not being counted, but she's not positive.
“It was human error,” Land said, adding that the office will learn from the blunder and do things differently come the next election.
In her five years working in the elections office, Land said she’s never seen something like this happen before.
The deputy secretary of state and the director of elections were in Midland on Monday to observe the ballot count and advise local officials, according to a tweet by State Sen. Kel Seliger, who represents the area.
“Every Texan deserves to have full faith in our elections process,” Seliger wrote in a tweet.
Every Texan deserves to have full faith in our elections process. I met with the @TXsecofstate’s office while in Austin yesterday to get a complete update on the @Midland_ISD bond election. While the SOS is only able to advise local officials I have no doubt that...
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.
How foreign corporations invade the U.S. by funding political campaigns of the intellectually dearth through fake ass foreign child welfare NGOs that come up through Public Private Partnerships to create Predictive Modeling Crap, for the purposes of ensuring more procurement of child welfare contracts, in this instance, education in Michigan, starting with Detroit, for more stealin'.
She did not know who I was, which speaks volumes considering she had to State Auditor in her own committee, to explain what SACWIS meant, which is at the center of an almost two decades old case of the Michigan Child Welfare System, where the state is under federal monitoring, which is subject to a federal investigation, where I am the original source, and have been blogging about for over 10 years.
That is your first indicator that she is one who would sell her soul for a check.
After having Cynthia, the "Elected One" mock the way I speak, giving me directions to remove my glasses, and chastising me for being "uncooperative" for refusing to do so, I sat there, listening to her meeting with a christian community leader, who had a non-profit, and needed to recruit more Detroit students to meet the benchmarks of her grant for the Detroit Parent Network and "teach about Jesus".
So, Cynthia, the "Elected One", makes her way over to the resident cafe' christian leader to ask how to achieve this goal of getting the word of Jesus in the schools.
The response was to "just get in the school, get a classroom and do not let anyone know what you are doing."
See Sherry promote Public Private Partnerships of foreign corporations, for the purposes of stealin' the children, the land and the votes.
She will sell a child down the river for a fashion show selfie and a plate of fried shrimp.
I watched her do it, before.
She will not allow one single word of child welfare fraud to leaver her lips for the funding keeps her in office.
She is not looking too well lately but here is the network of foreign Public Private Partnerships she is guiding through the process of stealin' more children, land and votes, through the trust funds of Detroit children's education.
Please take the time and enjoy the Public Private Partnership foreign network invading Detroit by stealin' the children, the land and the votes through the children's trust funds.
The Network
Tom Lewand & his daughter, Carrie Lewand Monroe
Carrie Lewand-Monroe
Former Detroit Land Bank Authority
"Legal Genius" (trademark pending)
Lewand, 73, was named as group executive for jobs and the economy in January 2014. Since that time the city said he has been a chief negotiator on deals bringing more than 15,000 new jobs to the city and billions of dollars in investment.
Those projects include Fiat Chrysler’s new Mack Avenue Assembly Plant, Ford Motor Co.’s Corktown mobility campus and Flex-N-Gate's manufacturing plant.
The city also credits Lewand in playing a central role in the city bringing the Detroit Pistons back home and for leading the restructuring of the city’s job training programs.
“In 2013, Tom was retired and attending art school when I recruited him to spend a couple of years to help us rebuild the city’s planning and economic development team and to help land the first couple of deals,” Mayor Mike Duggan said in a statement Friday. “Tom is as fine a negotiator as I’ve ever met. He has exceeded by far every expectation I could have had for transforming Detroit’s reputation as a great place for business development.”
Duggan said he expects to hire Lewand’s successor by the end of the year.
Lewand thanked Duggan, his team and Detroit residents for the experience. He said he looks forward to retiring again.
“It’s time for me to let others take on the full-time challenge of creating new opportunities for growth in this great city and time for me to return to being a full-time husband, father and grandfather,” he said.
The announcement of Lewand's retirement comes as the city experiences a shift in leadership involving workforce development.
Earlier this month, the city announced that Nicole Sherard-Freeman was promoted to executive director for Workforce Development and that former Neighborhood Services Organization CEO Sheilah Clay was named director of training quality and retention at Detroit Employment Solutions Corporation, the city's workforce agency.
