Then find out you administered a first class beatdown on some other guy with cerebral palsy in a case of mistaken identity.

I thought some dude got his batman bigwheel stolen or something.

The real reason they're having this in a May election is voter turnout will be especially low, and the chances it will pass will greatly increase.

I'd hardly consider that a "big lawsuit" (Darrrwin) or worry about the jobs of cops or firefighters (johnyv). The city should just pay the money and be grateful is wasn't more Mon, 1 Feb 2010 01:16:49 +0000 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/local/grand_rapids/Family-of-man-hit-by-city-truck-to-sue#IDComment54745277 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/local/grand_rapids/Haitian-orphans-acclimate-to-West-Mich#IDComment54744412 What about them? At least they have shelter, food and water. I find it hard to be critical of anyone who lovingly adopts a child, regardless of where they are from.

I was never the victim of crime but heard of people breaking into cars and houses. Good thing I got out of there when I did, that neighborhood is going downhill fast. Kinda feel bad for the young family I sold the house to.

Either way, a sad result Fri, 22 Jan 2010 23:04:04 +0000 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/local/muskegon_county/Left-in-bathtub%2C-infant-dies-days-later#IDComment53472006 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/local/grand_rapids/Spectrum-gets-transplant-center-support#IDComment53253420 I assume the first year losses would be due to startup costs and thereafter it will be profitable? Hopefully the alliance was armed with more financial information than the story offers.

It was a well known fact that a Grand Valley student/drug dealer was shot in the chest by the police in 2009. And also the former Davenport President (granted, not a student) was busted for drinking and driving. If you think West Michigan is in the STONE AGE, please feel free to relocate to the vibrant Flint or Detroit area.

Thank goodness we have WoodTV to pass along a few of these "news" stories so people can open up their pockets. Too bad for the families that don't make WoodTV's cut and only get their stories told in the obituaries.

But sadly for many people, it will become WAS a very good company to work for. I used to rush to the defense of Amway and the DeVos/VanAndel families too, but knowing the facts, I now feel betrayed for that loyalty. Characterizing these changes as "discussions" are a severe understatement. It would behoove you to not rush to their defense as in time these "potential" changes will become reality and all of Amway's loyal sympathzers will be eating crow.

His salary and perks are probably a lot less than what a CEO of a company with similar budget and number of employees makes. If they don't make his compensation package somewhat comparable to what he could earn in the corporate world, they would never get qualified people. People that say they'll do ANY job for $142K or this particular job for $70K are probably not qualified for the position. If they were, I'm sure the City of Grand Rapids would have contacted them and offered them the position.
