Watson disses boxing instructor

[Buy American]

Is there something you don't understand here?

First, why did you say, "if this were a contract or a vendor..." Did you read the article? It says contract. Therefore they are a contractor. With a handle like Buy American, you should have a better grasp of the English language.

They cannot do this with Police and Fire Department employees, or any City Employees as a matter of fact. That is against the law. This person would be considered an independent contractor and not a city employee so they can do what they like. This individual will not receive a city paycheck, rather, a vendor check. I'm not agreeing with it, but you're not fucking listening.

JoAnn Watson is nothing but a rabble rouser. She came in last in the last round of elections and is trying to play to the base that elected her. I support the residency requirement, but uniformly. It should be brought back, but not used arbitrarily against contractors or vendors.

You didn't understand my point, which was if this were a contract or a vendor position it would have clearly stated on the application that ONLY CITY OF DETROIT RESIDENTS SHOULD APPLY. Obviously this wasn't on the application, otherwise why would Mr. Strickland waste his time and efforts to apply.

Again....ask those firemen who were injured in the fire if residency made a difference in their dedication to Detroit. Ask the family of Walter Harris, the fireman who was killed a year ago if it made a difference in his dedication. You people who are so gung ho about residency need to step back and reconsider what you're talking about.

Your sarcasm isn't appreciated as well. Seems to me there are too many of you who use foul language to get your point across and it doesn't work. It just makes me consider the source and ignore your statements.

I didn't coin that term, someone else did....and....if the shoe fits.
Do you love the D so much that you're blind to what's going on in the City County Building?

You can respectfully disagree with them without name calling... Which is what you chastised Detroitpole about.
