News Alert: Ousting Don the Con

Earlier this afternoon, the Committee for a Better Flint (CBF) held a news conference at their campaign headquarters to announce intentions to submit to the Genesee County Clerk the many hundreds of petitions and thousands of signatures seeking the recall and removal from office of Flint's mayor, Donald J. Williamson. The announcement was the culmination of months of hard work and the involvement of many dedicated people in the city of Flint.
“Despite the obstacles and obvious constraints recently orchestrated by Don Williamson and his administration, we remain confident the voters of Flint will be afforded their legal right to vote on the removal from office of Mayor Williamson.” – CBF News Release

“”I feel extremely positive that they won't recall me because of all of the work I have done for the great citizens of the city of Flint,” said Williamson, who takes part of the credit for downtown revitalization.”
