The Detroit Free Press looks at a dispute between state legislators and the boards that manage Detroit’s two public pension funds. Lawmakers have introduced bills to bring the pension funds under the control of a Lansing-based nonprofit trust, the Municipal Employees’ Retirement System. The article quotes Bob Stevenson, an Ann Arbor-based pension attorney, who says the Bing administration should restructure the existing boards: “Undoubtedly, the Detroit pension systems have been poorly run, but I don’t think the answer in my view would be to transition to MERS. I would find some means to keep these pension plans autonomous.” [Source]
The Eat Close to Home blog puts out a call for volunteers for Avalon Housing’s Edible Avalon project: “Edible Avalon is a great group that’s not only helping to build gardens in the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti area, they are teaching people how to garden and supporting them through their first gardening efforts. They are looking for volunteers to help mentor new gardeners at their garden sites 1-3 hours per week.” [Source]

The crew and craft services are using it. Seems like a lot of crew, they also had bagged meters on Ashley. Motor coaches, town car, a number of scooters parked in the lot, food out as well as lots of drinks. The attendant I chatted with said his night was going to be very easy, and then he pulled out a bag of dog treats and had my dog sit nicely.
