Trying to Put a Black Face on Detroit: 'The Powers that be' Ponder the Role of Straw Boss, Kevyn Orr
/
Just a Straw Boss or Does he Really have his Finger on the Nuclear Button? According to Dr. Blynd a Straw-Boss is a Sambo who is appointed a certain oversight role for the white power Overseer. It is the job of the Straw Boss to establish a formal organization to effectively and systematically carry out the wishes of the white supremacist power matrix while serving his own personal needs and ends through patronage power."

From [HERE] City leaders were meeting behind closed doors Tuesday afternoon to hammer out a potential deal for Kevyn Orr's continued role in Detroit after his term as emergency manager expires.
"Michigan officials" (white people) along with Governor Rick Snyder, a racist suspect Republican (White Party), handpicked or selected Orr, a lawyer at the Jones Day law firm, in March 2013 to function as an emergency manager to oversee operations in Detroit, one of the largest cities to ever receive such "intervention." That is, they replaced Detroit's elected black leaders (the Mayor and City Council) with Orr and his team of flunkys.
Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, a white man, corporation counsel Melvin "Butch" Hollowell and members of the Detroit City Council are among those in the closed session that started at 2 p.m. Tuesday. U.S. District Judge Gerald Rosen, (another white man), lead mediator of the city's Chapter 9 bankruptcy case, also was in attendance.
Late Monday, Council President Pro Tem George Cushingberry Jr. said all sides are "close to an agreement" that will keep Orr in place until the bankruptcy case concludes in federal court. Then, control would be transferred back to Detroit's actual elected officials. Under Public Act 436, the state's emergency manager law, Orr could be removed as early as Saturday. [MORE]

Update on Undercover Negro Removal/Land Grab/Gentrification Plans. From [HERE] Meanwhile on Tuesday Orr stepped back from a move to force the transfer of 45,000 city properties to the Detroit Land Bank.
City Council on Tuesday approved the transfer of a smaller number of foreclosed properties after Orr's reversal. The land bank, revamped this year under Mayor Mike Duggan's anti-blight plan, has successfully auctioned off hundreds of publicly owned vacant houses, and is seeking ownership of more city owned homes to be sold.
City Council has been reluctant to completely give up control over all the properties and was seeking a compromise.

Orr acknowledged talks between the council and the mayor's office on the subject and withdrew a request for overriding approval from a state loan board to move the 45,000 foreclosed properties to land bank ownership.
The state's emergency management law, under which Orr was appointed last year, gives the loan board authority to approve measures pushed by an emergency manager and rejected by the council.
"In light of recent and ongoing discussions between City Council and the mayoral administration, I have determined that it is in the best interest of the city and local government to devise a long-term strategy for the management and development of the city's foreclosed residential properties," Orr said in a memorandum read to the council by a city lawyer Tuesday.
"Therefore, I am rescinding submission of this agreement and its related approval requests from both the City Council and the loan board." The council then approved the transfer of 10,316 properties to be addressed by the land bank. [MORE]
