The City of Warren has issued a Snow Emergency today, Wednesday, January 25th, 2023 effective immediately.

Plus, starting at 11p.m. tonight, you must have vehicles removed from the streets. Tickets will be issued for those that do not comply. Garbage pickup is on time. Let neighbors also know about the snow emergency declaration.

Other points:

1) DPW will be out plowing 365 miles of city streets. GPS will be up by 11 p.m. when the plows start.

2) Priority is the main roads such as 9, 11, 13, Hoover, and Ryan.

3) Second priority will be 1/2 mile roads.
4) Next school bus routes.

5) Followed by neighborhood roads.

Note: This is the largest snowfall this year and with the size of Warren it will take some time. Please do not drive unless you absolutely have to. Get your vehicle off the street early rather than after the plows have come by. If you do not have a driveway than make arrangements with a neighbor or at last resort, use your lawn area. We have NO desire to punish you for not taking your vehicle off the street, but try to be a good neighbor and get your vehicle off the street and help others if they can't do it on their own. If we all work together this will be a safe time period for all.

BOIKE ILLEGALLY SWORN IN BY CLERK: This is what happens when you are sworn in illegally by Warren City Clerk Sonja Buffa and attempt to sit at the dias for a City Council meeting.

Minutes before President Patrick Green called the Nov. 15 City Council meeting to order, Gary Boike, the 2019 third-place council candidate for the at-large position appears on stage and expects to take a seat after having been sworn in to fill a vacancy that does not exist.

Boike's contention is that he wrote a letter to the City Attorney indicating his interest in serving after he researched and interpreted the charter, concluding that President Green has served the maximum allowable time under the charter.

An Oct. 26 letter from City Attorney Ethan Vinson subsequently informs Green and Council Secretary Mindy Moore of his concurrence with Boike's interpretation and unilaterally declares Green's position vacant as of Nov. 14 (for which he has no authority to do).

Without City Council declaring a vacancy in office, notifying the Clerk of said vacancy, and issuing a letter to Boike indicating that he is eligible to serve, Clerk Buffa ignores the charter, flaunts every process governing the oath of her own office, and blindly swears Boike in as a council member the morning of Nov. 15.

A show-cause hearing is scheduled for the morning of Monday, Nov. 21 in the courtroom of Circuit Court Judge Julie Gatti.

This leaves me with only one question, did Mr. Boike receive a free box of chocolates with a copy of the city charter after being sworn in?

Honoring all Veterans for their service on this 11th day of the 11th month. Before singing God Bless America, I was introduced as "Mr. Lafferty" to whom I pointed out in the crowd and introduced everyone to my father, a veteran of the United States Air Force, and my American hero. He honorably served his country during the Vietnam War and instilled in me the importance of public service. I love you, Dad!

Attorney for Warren Mayor Fouts skewered for trying to remove council president

CITY ATTORNEY DIRECTED TO REMOVE PATRICK GREEN AS MEMBER OF CITY COUNCIL: In my previous post I spoke of Mayor Fouts' pattern of deceit. His latest move of retribution is designed to start yet another lawsuit and cause more chaos in Warren's government - a tired political posture that he thrives on and my neighbors have told me time and time again that they are simply done with.

Steve Nealing of the Metro Times published an article this afternoon detailing how City Attorney Ethan Vinson, at the direction of the mayor, incorrectly challenges Patrick Green's term of office. I shall let the facts speak for themselves and will file this under "other things" -- as in legal and *other things.

https://www.metrotimes.com/news/attorney-for-warren-mayor-fouts-skewered-for-trying-to-remove-council-president-31500253

*See Brian Abel's Channel 7 Report from November 2020 quoting Mayor Fouts indicating that he was exploring all avenues "legal and other things" in a desperate attempt to remain on the ballot in 2023.

The move ‘smacks of more political cronyism and our residents are tired of the mayor’s term limit scams,’ the council secretary said

City employees worked to change term limits in Warren. How they tried to do it raised red flags.

CITY HALL FOR SALE: Corruption and the price of Mayor Fouts' loyalty was made public tonight during a report by WXYZ investigative reporter Heather Catallo.

What I find most disturbing about tonight's stunning revelation is that the mayor admitted two years ago he would seek all avenues to appear on the ballot. Only one day following the November 2020 restoration of *term limits, Mayor Fouts openly admitted to WXYZ reporter Brian Abel that he was already exploring ways to undo the will of the people:

"I'm exploring all options, legal and other things, and we will see what the future will hold..."

Legal and "other things"? Illegal things perhaps?

Now, two years later, we have definitive proof that the mayor chose the latter of the two. The scale and depth of corruption exposed tonight ranks in comparison to other high-profile Macomb County corruption cases involving Former Public Works Commissioner Anthony Marrocco and County Prosecutor Eric Smith.

At the City Council meeting of July 12, I called into question the sketchy hiring of Cecil St. Pierre, president of Dark Money PAC "Citizens Alliance" and a disgraced attorney who was suspended by the Michigan Attorney General in 2018 for controversial probate practices. Accused of profiting from the deceased who had failed to set up an estate, St. Pierre now works for Mayor Fouts as an Assistant City Attorney, earning over $100,000 annually.

This is not just another story of failed government leadership at its worst, it is a pattern of deceit.

The mayor has previously gone on the record claiming audio recordings of his voice were falsified and manipulated. Even now, with video proof, I don't expect the mayor to resign over this exposure of corruption in his office. He will instead fabricate yet another pitifully lame excuse and exit stage left. Perhaps he will blame the Council who work for the citizens but fail to act as his rubber-stamp?

Mayor Fouts, your 15 minutes are up.

Warren politics are never dull. In 2020, nearly 68% of the voters in Warren passed term limit reform for the mayor and the city council.

Remembering the heroes on this September 11: Some wore the heavy gear to fight the fires, the badge and a blue uniform, medical scrubs, while others wore business suits and work attire, and those youngest among them their outfits for what should have been a day like any other. For as long as we are Americans, we shall never forget the horror of that day and we will always remember and honor the memories of these American heroes.

May God Bless the United States of America, on this day and always.
