Comment on Keep those Maxey letters coming by forumcommunications

Those are all former Hometown Communications (now Gannett) newspapers. As former editor with the Hometown chain, I can tell you those editors quite often look for letters of national interest when they don’t have enough local ones to fill the space. Let’s not condemn the Maxeys for something they didn’t do.

There is a difference of someone giving their opinion, and something “STRANGE”. To write to the News or Free Press all the time is one thing, but to be sending the exact letter out to South Lyon, Berkley, Novi, Livonia, and numerous other paper publications when you are from Farmington is a little wierd. How about TIME MAGAZINE?

I don’t write about California. I write about Farmington, where we elected people who created the TIFF district. That’s the beauty of TIFF districts – if you don’t like them, you can try to get the people who approved them out of office.

I can imagine, check out what Tax increment financing (TIFF) did for California, nothing to be negative about here.

I would suggest that if you really want answers to those questions, you read the additional posts in this blog or that you do some research by exploring the archives of the Farmington Observer. Better yet, come visit Downtown Farmington and see what an active, engaged DDA, business community and citizenry can do!

This isn’t that kind of blog, and Farmington’s not that kind of town. It’s unfortunate you have a negative view of Downtown Development Authorities. Ours has done wonders to revitalize the central business district, with assistance from Main Street Oakland County. We are so supportive of Main Street and the DDA, in fact, that a large majority of Farmington residents voted in favor of spending tax dollars on a streetscape project.

Why not look into another aspect about how the DDA can actually hurt the community and mismanage taxpayer contributions and your rights? I’ve got some information about it here; http://blissfield.wordpress.com/2010/06/08/things-you-should-know-the-dda-threat/

Great sales job to the public? What about the price tag and the loans and who is really going to pay for it all?
