Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib of Michigan's 13th District knows the importance of keeping in touch with those who elected her to serve in Washington, D.C. A native of Detroit and serving her first term as a member of the United States House of Representatives, Tlaib says she repeatedly has heard voters throughout her district asking, "Don't forget about us, don't just do Detroit-centered issues." In her short time as a congresswoman, Tlaib has met with the mayor of every city within her district...
It's always been difficult for civilians to gain a clear understanding of the Vietnam war. American involvement surly transitioned our countries timeline. American view of the government shifted, as well as the economy, voting age changed, and the end to the draft system. No soldier returned home the same man or woman that left. Others didn't make it home. They have witnessed horrible things, and faced earth shattering decisions as a part of the work day. Most Veterans have a hard time sharing...

The pure pleasure comes when you laugh at the extremely funny and very animated performances by Martin, Rae and the...
Back in early 2016, might Hollywood have ever accepted this far-fetched 'TRUMPian Tale' for a movie? Let us reflect for a moment that there ac- tually has dwelled in our dis-United States a psycho-pathologically narcissistic, infantile, draft-dodging liar named Trump whose Wharton professor once pronounced him "the dumbest student I ever had," and who was given $400 million by his father--a former Ku Klux Klansman--to get started in business. This racist, ignorant, amorally sinister son of an...
As consumers, we often do not think about the hazardous products we keep in our homes. Under the kitchen sink we keep drain cleaners and household cleaners of all sorts. In the bathroom we keep nail polish remover, old pharmaceuticals, and perhaps a thermometer containing mercury. The garage or tool shed may contain a host of hazardous items including wood stripper, pesticides and automobile fluids such as anti-freeze. What do we do with these products when we are finished with them? More often...
As we approach the end of the 2019 - 2020 Budget Approval cycle, I am pleased to announce that Detroit City Council and the Mayor's Administration have collaborated to present the fourth consecutive balanced budget for the City of Detroit. This is our first independent budget review in six years, occurring as the Financial Review Commission is in its first year of dormancy after emergency management, bankruptcy and the Plan of Adjustment. I would like to thank all who were involved in...
