Bump for all those who forgot.

MsChievous, if you're out there, can you give us updates on the Charter Commission and their activities? It's been awhile since I've anything. And if anyone has been to these meetings lately, your voice is also welcome!

Yes and its been a while since I was able to attend one. Arwe there any other planned meetings? They were actually very informative.

In the past, our documents and schedule were posted on the city's website but that has been hit and miss lately. Still, I have included a link:

http://www.detroitmi.gov/Departments...6/Default.aspx

I'm also TRYING to attach a .pdf of documents from our last meeting. If that doesn't work, if someone would like to give me an email address, I'll forward the documents. Documents from our meetings are public but we are having a difficult time getting the city to update the site on a regular basis. I'm leaning toward agreeing with some of my colleagues that we need our own web site, email addresses, etc.

I still have my campaign website and even though I don't EVER intend to run for another public office, I think I will use it to post our public documents. In the meantime, my email address is blount4charter@yahoo.com. We also have city email addresses but someone in IT recently wiped them all out and most of our saved documents were lost so I don't use it often.

Here are our city emails:
