NO SHOWS on install dates from contractors who are GETTING PAID to do the work

I want to be as professional as possible. Don’t want to come off as being bitter. When you have a non-profit organization and it depends on donations to function we can’t have people or corporations not following through on pledges.

NO SHOWS on install dates from contractors who are GETTING PAID to do the work.

Example:  I was WXYZ’s Person Of The Week in July. They asked if I wanted something done right away what would it be. I said windows on the community center to make it look more inviting and professional. The same night it aired we got a call asking if we had anybody willing to donate for the windows. An amount was pledged and also a company that could do the work. An appointment for measurements was scheduled and kept. An install date (2 and ½ weeks) was scheduled. NO WINDOWS. After calls from me to company, another meeting was scheduled. New install date October 9^th 2013. Came and passed NO WINDOWS. Phone calls and emails have gone unanswered. We had some funds to go towards the windows from other donors and this information was told to the first donor reducing her pledged amount. What are Non-Profits to do in a situation like this?

Leasing Belle Isle Park to the State Of Michigan

For Readers That Don't Know About Belle Isle Park
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belle_Isle_Park

I’ve tried my best since I started the garden and the collective to stay out of politics. Today January 29, 2013 I have changed my mind.  After the Detroit City Councils inability to make a decision on the State of Michigan leasing Belle Isle Park, I have decided to voice my opinion.

I think this decision is a no brainer!!! We as a city cannot afford the up keep of this precious jewel. Not at this point and we haven’t been able to for years. The band aid maintenance that the City Administration says costs tax payers $8 million a year can be diverted to other things (Public Safety For Instance and I’ll get to that later). Some of the citizens and our leaders have this spirit of entitlement that doesn’t make sense to me. Our city has been declining for decades, 3 to 5 depending on who you talk to. From causes like white flight, redlining, etc. Or whatever other excuse you’d like to use but the one constant is electing folks that have ulterior motives into office to make decisions that don’t make PEOPLE SENSE!!!!!!! Common sense should tell us that we need parks but if another entity can fund the upkeep of our major park we should do it!!! Here’s the tie in to the public safety issue mentioned above. I read an article yesterday in the Detroit News “Detroit Police Pass Up Tech Upgrade “

This system could have saved officers a lot of time.

 Daddow cited a CLEMIS efficiency study, submitted to the Department of Justice in 2010, that found its services saved enough man-hours to equal 2,400 officers among the 100 departments in the consortium, which have 5,500 sworn officers.

"Applying the same benefits to Detroit and its 2,700 officers would result in an effective improvement of 1,178 redeployed officers," Daddow said.

From The Detroit News: http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20130128/METRO01/301280331#ixzz2JPns4XB3

Now saving $8 mill a year from the up keep of Belle Isle, could have paid for the system and still added more cops and fire fighters and EMS.

I REST MY CASE!!!!!!!!!!
