“Back in the ’60s and ’70s the white community was with us, got arrested with us, lost their job with us, sacrificed with us. I don't see that sacrificing now from the white liberals.” -- Shirley Beckley, #AnnArbor community activist and historian, at 11:53. #A2Democracy #Michigan #Politics #USPol #BlackMastodon #Histodons cc: @A2ELNEL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUkRx083jx0&t=704s

This week, Council considers first reading of increases to water and stormwater rates, and a public hearing and final approval for the rezoning of 415 W. Washington. On the consent agenda, Council will re-consider a 20-year lease for the City's airport, rescinding lease terms approved five months ago in order to substitute a different lessee.
