What Flint needs is what the nation needs. The Nation needs another Alexander Graham Bell & Andrew Carnegie. Flint needs another Eugene Dort, CS Mott, Billy Durant.
Ahh, the flint of my youth. I was 11 but I remember the 1990 mayoral race quite well. I loved the heck out of Ruggeros pizza at Windmill Place when I lived in River Village.
Hahaha! I forgot about this video. It came out while I was in high school. I am actually in the background of the video around the 8:46 mark when he was at the Desert Storm welcome home parade. I always thought Don Williamson was a sleaze bag, and I still do. I am glad I left Flint.
What few citizens are left should be evacuated and what's left of this community should be leveled. It is little more than a pile of rumble, violence and misery. The F.B.I. says that statistically this is one of the most dangerous cities in the Western Hemisphere. Human life has very little value here. It has become one of those places the world would be better off without.
WOW Watching it again. LOL I don't know he is going to spin his complete lack of Leadership! Complete failure of all of those businesses that he mentions in the video (except the dealership he cannot own "Patsy Lou Williamson") LOL LOL LOL I think I'm going to have to do a piece on this on my show!
@TheChairman48504 -Too True. Flint is what happens when there is more money going out than coming in. Not to mention the fact that in 1992 it only costs $1300 to get your roof retailed then in 2006 in costs $6000 that's ridiculous..
Funny thing about this video is it shows Don shaking hands with union memebers then shows his Owosso plant that when it tried to union organize. It mysteriously burned to the ground. He never rebuilt it. I was born and raised in Flint. I just left after 50 yeas. Never to return.
I'd love to comment Only there isn't enough Room to. I've got my response down to the 500 and it will still not let me post! Simply Put. Under the Don Leadership Crime which was declining at a 10 % per year rate is now skyrocketing at 30 % up in just his first two years. Now there is leadership!
and now don has a bronze statue of himself on davison rd...a vestige of "good intentions" for flint and a whole lotta money he made personally with patsy and off the backs of the poorest ppl in the community
Hahaha "he's going to put Flint back to work with ideas that are pretty new" and then the only idea they mention is house building programs. Yeah, because everyone in Flint is a house builder. Besides, who's he going to get to buy the houses? Half the houses in Flint are already vacant! What a joke.
What a Fairy Tale! If you live here. You know he hasn't done anything but pave a few roads. Business as usual. Padding his pocketbook! At the Citizens exspense.
When Williamson became mayor, things got worse and especially with the "my way or the highway" approach. We are still paying for his mistakes here in Flint.
I would LOVE to see Flint turn around for the BEST! it is hell now to be here! The past was better!
Thks for liking this.
What Flint needs is what the nation needs. The Nation needs another Alexander Graham Bell & Andrew Carnegie. Flint needs another Eugene Dort, CS Mott, Billy Durant.
Isn't DW a crook too?
Wasn't him & his wife caught up in some kind of "trickery"??
Very interesting, a piece of history to be sure.

I wonder if any of these people regret what they said about Don Williamson now... I know I would.
Glorious leader. Our shining sun!

It's funny. Those seem like the good old days in Flint, anymore. Don has a lot of work to do to make good on his promises.
@bobsanford Flint has a lot of big fires...entire neighborhoods have been leveled. It's amazing.

@monicasman23 Actulally I was working at that plant when in burnt down. Luckly he had remove all his antique cars two days before.... hmmmm
BIG cigar, could have poked someone in the eye. He just wants power, thats all.
The roads aren't being "fixed" they are being patched over with a fersh coat of black top. There's a big difference.
and now don has a bronze statue of himself on davison rd...a vestige of "good intentions" for flint and a whole lotta money he made personally with patsy and off the backs of the poorest ppl in the community
