County Commissioner Don Black insults the voters of Allegan county and says Jail election was “over the heads of most people” and needs to be written “in fourth- and sixth-grader language”
What an insult to the voters of Allegan County that some smart Ass commissioner would have the audicity to say the language on the ballot was way over our heads and he thinks they need to rewrite it in 4th and 6th grade language for us to understand it.
Well guess what, he must be dumber than we the people, because he doesn’t know what ‘NO’ means. Im sorry, but even 2 year olds can understand what the word NO means, commissioner Don Black! But they are just like you, and do not want to listen. I hope the people in the 7th district throw him out of office when his term expires in 2012.
Read below to see what a voter has to say about Don Blacks arrogant and insulting statements about the electorate.
Maybe the voters of Allegan County can organize together and start a recall process on those 6 commissioners who think the majority of people are to stupid to understand ” we can’t afford to pay for this Jail when we are out of jobs, homes are in foreclosure and we are struggling to make ends meet” is all about. We voted NO because we mean NO!
If they put this on the ballot and it gets voted down again in November and if they try again, we can seriously consider a recall procedure after they are in office after 6 months, so this is a legal option. Lets leave this on the table. Change the majority of county commissioners and then persuade them to fire the county administrator who should work for the commissioners (who btw are suppose to work for the people) and not have the administrator dictate to the commissioners as we have. We truly are losing our representation in government. We have a tyrannical county government, of elite and arrogant bureaucrats, who think they know better than the people they serve, which of course they do not serve. They serve their own ego! Throw them out!
Saugatuck Twp. ballot security violations blocked recount. Does this never end in Allegan County?
A report by the Michigan Bureau of Elections states criminal violations might have occurred in the failed recount of a May ballot proposal in Saugatuck Township. The information is now in the hands of the state attorney general for more investigation and possible prosecution.
“The failure of the Allegan County Board of Canvassers to recount the single precinct in Saugatuck Township was caused by the improper conduct of these election officials,” the report stated.
The report also cites Julia Ryan, Allegan County deputy clerk, for improper direction to local election officials, and Joyce Watts, Allegan County clerk, for her role in Ryan’s conduct and the preparation of an affidavit by Wright.
Read more as this saga unfolds. Its time to clean up all this mess in Allegan County.
John Watts, an Allegan attorney, husband of long time Allegan County Clerk, Joyce Watts, has his license suspended after he pleads no contest to fraud, other charges.
What makes your vote valid?
Even though the top markings are valid votes, the tabulator machines do not pick them up because they are looking for solid filled in ovals. This is why the County board of canvassers found 1 new YES vote during the hand recount on the Fire millage. When the number of votes have a big difference, the odds that many people voted like what is above it pretty slim, but when close votes happen, it is imperative that the ballots are recounted by hand to make sure the voters did not vote in this manner.

Check out this JAIL. We need these ideas in Allegan County Jail.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio (in Arizona) is doing it RIGHT!! He has jail meals down to 40 cents a serving and charges the inmates for them. He stopped smoking and porno magazines in the jails. Took away their weights. Cut off all but “G” movies. He started chain gangs so the inmates could do free work on county and city projects. Then he started chain gangs for women so he wouldn’t get sued for discrimination.
He took away cable TV until he found out there was a federal court order that required cable TV for jails. So he hooked up the cable TV again but only let in the Disney channel and the weather channel. When asked why the weather channel he replied, so they will know how hot it’s gonna be while they are working on my chain gangs.
He cut off coffee since it has zero nutritional value. When the inmates complained, he told them…..this is a good one……”This isn’t the Ritz/Carlton. If you don’t like it, don’t come back.”
He bought Newt Gingrich’s lecture series on videotape that he pipes into the jails. When asked by a reporter if he had any lecture series by a Democrat, he replied that a democratic lecture series might explain why a lot of the inmates were in his jails in the first place. You have to love this guy!!

With temperatures being even hotter than usual in Phoenix (116 degrees just set a new record), the Associated Press reports:
About 2,000 inmates living in a barbed-wire-surrounded tent encampment at the Maricopa County Jail have been given permission to strip down to
their government-issued pink boxer shorts. On Wednesday, hundreds of men wearing boxers were either curled up on their bunk beds or chatted in the tents, which reached 138 degrees inside the week before. Many were also swathed in wet, pink towels as sweat collected on their chests and dripped down to their pink socks. “It feels like we are in a furnace,” said James Zanzot, an inmate who has lived in the tents for 1 1/2 years. “It’s inhumane.”
Joe Arpaio, the tough-guy sheriff who created the tent city and long ago started making his prisoners wear pink, and eat bologna sandwiches, is
not one bit sympathetic He said Wednesday that he told all of the inmates: “It’s 120 degrees in Iraq and our soldiers are living in tents too, and
they have to wear full battle gear, but they didn’t commit any crimes… so shut your damned mouths.”

Barack Hussein Obama has jumped the shark
Barack Obama has Jumped the Shark
By Rich Carroll
In Hollywood circles, the death of one’s career is known as “jumping the shark.” Happy Days fans will remember the episode when Arthur Fonzarelli jumped the shark. He water-skied, shirtless, and millions of American fans saw for the first time his sunken chest and thin little girl arms. “Fonzie,” always hiding behind that cool leather jacket, had shown his weakness; a non-athletic body that resembled an anorexic emphysema patient more than a street tough. His popularity plummeted. Happy Days was now doomed.
Remember the date of Friday, August 13, 2010, as the day President Barack Hussein Obama jumped the shark. From this day forward, he will be remembered as “that guy” who supported an Islamic memorial to 3,000 dead Americans in New York at ground zero. This is the day all suspicions were set-aside and Americans watched (and heard) Obama associate himself more closely with Islam than “we the people.” Any American second-guessing about this guy being a Muslim has been answered once and for all. Like the Fonzie’s missing cool leather jacket, Obama’s cool demeanor was missing when he blatantly endorsed a Mosque at ground zero. He has jumped the shark. Obama’s political career has ended. Effective August 13, 2010, Obama became a lame duck president.
Oh sure, his handlers are trying to tell us what we heard was not really what we heard, but even members of his own party are outraged and whispering behind closed doors. Who wants to be endorsed by someone who supports Muslims over mainstream America? What politician in the Democrat party wants to be seen with Obama now?
On Friday August 13, Barack Hussein Obama hosted an iftar dinner in the White House State Dining Room. That’s the meal that breaks the dawn-to-dusk fast for Muslims during the holy month of Ramadan. Not bad for a guy who cannot seem to find a Christian church to attend after two years in office. Over 100 Muslim guests listened to Obama’s strong endorsement of Park 51, the proposed Islamic community center and mosque to be built two blocks from the 911 ground zero terrorist attack that slaughtered 3,000 Americans. Some of the people present have ties to Muslim terrorist groups such as Hamas. Was Obama pressured by some of these Muslim friends to support this Islamic Mosque de Triomph? Since February of this year, Obama has rewarded Hamas accomplishments with $1.23 billion U.S. taxpayer dollars. Or is this some Alinsky move, intended to heighten contradictions and “rub raw” (in Alinsky’s words) the emotions of the public for yet-to-be revealed purposes?
Obama’s remarks drew a standing ovation from his Muslim guests. His remarks drew bitter criticism from an outraged “we the people of the United States of America .” So, he tiptoed around his words on Saturday, August 14, by lying to the American people and saying he did not endorse the construction of this mosque at that site. Oh? Did he lie to the 100 guests who roared with applause during a standing ovation, or did he lie to the press on a Saturday morning with a “courtesy lie” to the American people? With 70% of the country opposed to building this mosque, Obama’s support also plays into the great liberal narrative, their “noble calling” of their great commission, that they are bucking the odds, standing in the battlements waving the bloody shirt of social justice. In spite of great unwashed ignorant masses. If this sounds like adolescent nonsense, I have just described a liberal.
Before you feel the urge to race to your computer to call me “prejudiced, racist, or bigot”, that dog don’t hunt anymore. Whatever “cats” Obama had in his secret bag have been let-out. Defending the construction of an Islamic mosque at ground zero pretty much cemented his hatred towards Americans and this nation. Remember, in his book “Dreams of My Father” on page 261, he told us “If the political winds shift in an ugly direction, I will side with the Muslims.” And he has. He wasn’t lying, so neither should you. This foreigner in our White House is a Muslim, born in a Muslim country, given a Sunni Muslim name and his allegiance rests with his Islamic brothers who have vowed to kill us all.
