O’Reilly to Meet With Neighborhood Assn. April 15
Mayor John B. O'Reilly, Jr.
Dearborn Mayor John B. O’Reilly, Jr. can expect to be peppered with questions from residents about the city’s proposal to close some city pools and cut other city services when he speaks to the Howard Park Neighborhood Assn. on April 15 at Lindbergh Elementary School.
O’Reilly will speak to the neighborhood association at 7 p.m. in the cafeteria of the elementary school, located at 500 N. Waverly St. Everyone is welcome to attend the session.
The association says O’Reilly will discuss the current state of the city, as well as future plans and developments within Dearborn.
The Howard Park neighborhood consists of the area between Telegraph Road and Outer Drive, bordered by Ford Road to the north and Wilson Street to the south.

Message to Cranky: This seems to be your neighborhood. At least, it is the area you mentioned has NEVER had a pool. Is it a coincidence that our Mayor chose THIS neighborhood to appear before on this issue? They aren’t losing a neighbornood pool, according to Cranky. Why isn’t he appearing near the place that had the assembly recently?

We will be ready for you Big Boy, so don’t think you will use your old political b.s. that you have used in the past. You better be prepared.

Earlier today I received a call from one of the Big Fellas cronies, asking me to show up at Lindergh and contact my friends to support the Big Fella — fat chance of that happening.

If they chose to cut staff or lay employees off then they need to start with management. Seems like there is a Supervisor for every four workers in the city,or maybe its just another way for the “big guy” to take care of all of his supervision again. Maybe he will layoff the workers and the inordinate amount of supervisors,superintendents,asst. directors,directors,consultants can just come to work and get paid with no workers left and then go home.
Ever try to figure out why all of the management and workers continue to get wage increases while the regime knew this deficit was there a year ago or more?
Ever try to figure out why knew vehicles and equipment was bought regularly over the last 3 years knowing the deficit was there?
Ever try to figure out why the Mayor puts people in charge that are clueless?
When you figure out the answer to those questions then you have all the other answers to the leaves and the pools and everything else going on.

Hassen:
Are you saying that private citizen cronies asked you to support the Mayor or was it someone from his office? There is no doubt in my mind that O Reilly has no intention of listening to anyone through this process. He and his gang of pirates will do what they want. He is a fraud of the highest degree and Dearborn will very soon look like Detroit. All the more reason to leave this city.

Hassen hit it right on the nose, as I got one of those chain calls to support Jack, and they asked me to pass it on to my friends, as Jack wll need some help to offset the hostile audience. Good luck big boy, stand up for yourself, and please stop the chain call requests to help you.

Well since “HE” has decided to keep the pools open at least for this year I guess that he will not neet any additional help at Thursday’s mtg. I wonder – do you suppose that the 3,000+ people that joined S.O.P. had anything to do with his decision or the council? He certainly can’t take credit for this one.

The meeting with the Mayor was scheduled long before any announcements regarding specific budget cuts, so I can assure everyone he’s not trying to dodge any issues by finding a “pool free” safe haven to appear in. Also, our neighborhood hosted DPS Superintendent Brian Whiston in the midst of the teacher layoffs in February. He was hit with some tough questions from a civil audience. No pitchforks. No drama. I think the Mayor can expect the same cordiality on Thursday.
