2015 Township Survey Proposal 1, from Cobalt Community ResearchJGNelson
Letters from Manager Fink, Planner Lewan, and Cobalt, the only company who bid on the proposed 2015 re-survey. Cobalt's cover letter clearly shows that they know precisely why and for whom the survey will be conducted. The 1200 homes on 460 Acres development proposal is specifically referenced. Still, if you watch the Township Planning Commission meetings, Planning Commissioners Ken Dignan, Mark Stanalajzo, and Sam Iaquinto continue to express surprise at the fantastic coincidence of a developer's interest in paving farmland and their interest in changing the Master Plan to accommodate paving farmland.

This is the 2003 Document creating the Whitmore Lake DDA Tax Increment Financing district. It includes maps of the district and some highly improbable financial projections showing that the DDA would eventually capture over $50 Million in tax revenues. The infamous Territorial Road Bridge project plan (5 Lanes Minimum!) is incorporated as an appendix. That would have put Northfield Township taxpayers on the hook for $28 Million.
This is the American Farmland Trust Cost of Services study showing that residential development costs 20% more than it raises in taxes. Open land and commercial development costs far less than it raises in taxes. Residential development is parasitic.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.
