Berkley Sucks
Tuesday, October 07, 2008
Our faire city Berkley, MI sucks big time right now everywhere you turn there is construction. 11 Mile road which is 1 block south of us has been torn up since spring and we have endured trucks parked along side our house day and night. If 11 mile wasn't enough construction for everyone to deal with, last week they started repairing the bricks at the intersection of 12 mile and Coolidge, 1 mile north of us. The previous mayor who was a bumbling idiot got the great idea to brick the whole intersection against many wishes. Needless to say the bricks were not layed properly and have since been in need of repair. Oh no it doesn't stop there, for the next month the intersection of 11 mile and Coolidge which is a block from us is now closed and although the trucks are now gone from the side of our house, the street is now a detour. We will have a parade of cars driving back and forth past our house and no doubt blocking our driveway when we are pulling out. I have an older car and I really don't care what happens to it so if some idiot blocks my driveway they will be dealing with the Focus. They say another month of construction which can't come soon enough.

City Of Berkley Election Results
Tuesday, November 06, 2007
We had a charter ammendment to vote on in our city and the good news is it didn't pass. The city of Berkley has had a nativity scene out in front of City Hall for years but the charter would require the city to display this from the end of November thru January. It would require a Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus along with a Santa Claus and presents. Mind you there is a huge church a half mile down the road that could display all of this instead of City Hall. There is no reason why this should be on the property not to mention the tax dollars that will be wasted defending this. Its good to see that the citizens of my city came thru and defeated this proposal. We will just be labeled heathens by the nutballs who supported this but I really don't care. And the crazy lady who was running as a write in candidate lost as well. So overall it was a good day for my faire city.
Proposal: Requires the city to display a Christmas nativity scene on city hall property each year. ( 7 of 7 precincts)
NO
2,275
Yes
1,861
