There is no doubt that Back to the Bricks has become one of, if not he biggest event in Flint. I am pleased to announce that this year's events have already begun!
The roller-coaster that is known as the "emergency manager" is still rolling in Flint. The Court of Appeals on Monday reinstated emergency manager Michael Brown in the on-again, off-again comedy of who is in charge of Flint. The ruling means that Mayor Dayne Walling and the nine-member City Council immediately lost all authority to run the city ...again!
Last week, a judge near Lansing ruled that Flint’s Emergency Financial Manager, Mike Brown, was appointed illegally, as that appointment violated Michigan’s Open Meetings Act. Once that ruling came down, Mayor Dayne Walling and the Flint City Council were back on the job. However, that didn’t last long.
I have been hosting karaoke in town for almost 14 years. I really enjoy interacting with a live audience, and sometimes am blown away by some of the local talent.
That being said, there have been many singers over the years that make me want to shove an ice pick in my ears. Tonight, I have the honor of hosting a 10-week karaoke contest to benefit the American Red Cross.
Last year, Davison Mayor Tim Bishop won Cars 108's 2011 Paczki Eating Contest, and has been patiently waiting for the past 364 days to defend his title. This morning on his home turf at the Davison VG's, he had his chance to do just that.
Taking on Flint Mayor Dayne Walling, Burton Mayor Paula Zelenko, and Cars 108's Erin Bishop, Tim was relentless with his trash-talking and determination to win. He even poked fun at Mayor Walling, asking where his 'Emergency Food Manager' was. Listen to the fun after the jump!
