    Melanie this was a great interview, AK Cole had so many good questions and I love the credit he gave Lansing Journal for the attention you brought to Thornton Township and the Henyard mess. The longer we wait for the FBI to step in and stop Henyard the more Mayors and other city government officials from across our country are being exposed for similar misappropriation of taxpayer funds. Keep up the good work!

    I think your Governor, Attorney General, and Chief Financial Officer are derelict in their duties for non-action when it is so blatant. They took an oath to serve the citizens and not dismiss a fellow Democratic Party official's misconduct. I think the assessor who found no help from the above three mentioned officials should sue them. She deserves to be protected and she was not and neither were the citizens.

    My belief Henyard & her Goons were pressuring Gonzalez, Jones & Gray-Everett the whole time. Why else was Henyard standing front and center waiting for Nomination? Butterball Keith Price was right there on the aisle seat by Henyard grinning.

    • @bobandvickiw
      @bobandvickiw Месяц назад +3

      Henyard found out in the early morning hours of Supervisor Zucarrelli's passing. Henyard boasted how she got a police escort to take her past barricades to the Supervisor's home while his body was still in place. Yeah, Henyard was ambitious.

      Thornton Township Trustees were nominating themselves and couldn’t come to an agreement within themselves. Gonzales personally said that if left to the public to vote, there would be chaos so he nominated her…and now, there is chaos.

      @@RobE876 They sure weren’t happy because they all wanted to be supervisor. They were fighting amongst themselves on the 1st. Chris Gonzales was a no, Jerry Jones was a no…they were mad at each other. They had to go to closed session, so there was already something amiss amongst them they didn’t want to the residents to know.

      & from what I’ve heard, Chris Gonzalez was promised the assessor’s position in exchange for his nomination-A promise that obviously wasn’t kept, so now he’s a staunch opponent, I think that Carmen was touched by the thought of the FBI coming down on her….

    What’s with the blue vest? Did you just get off work from Walmart? Woman wearing vests just looks stupid in my opinion and a lot of other people’s opinions too. But hey if you like wearing them then by all means go for it.

      Thanks for asking! I do like vests - they are a nice option when the weather starts getting cooler as we transition into winter. I picked this one up at a thrift store because the color matches the blue of The Lansing Journal - but I see what you mean about the similarity to Walmart!
