I’m pretty sure that’s just a trade association (aka lobbying group).

Here’s my time lapse from the #lunareclipse taken with a #dwarflabs 3.

I mean the whole South town situation.

Mike Nowak @snackdog.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Are you referring to me? I’m just trying to understand why the observer guy is the new enemy and what really happened here.

000

Mike Nowak @snackdog.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

I was mostly reacting to people claiming the Observer e newsletter guy was a hack and a fraud and a conspiracy theorist when he simply referenced the Laidlaw Substack. Then I got drawn into the argument. I just want to know what’s happening since there is a big empty lot in my neighborhood.

I’m not sure how that is relevant. I think the clear facts are that Heidi Poscher did serve time for fraud and she received preferential treatment from council and staff (getting exclusive negotiations instead of going thru an RFP). I think this warrants more scrutiny.

I’m just repeating what I read or heard. I really wish some investigative journalists would look into this.

Mike Nowak @snackdog.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

I think it’s because he finally got the records.

100

Mike Nowak @snackdog.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

I believe he published those 10 months later.

Especially if the supposed suicide note suggests that the multiple life insurance policies would cover the cost of the bankrupt development.

Mike Nowak @snackdog.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Normally a suicide of the spouse of a prominent developer wound be news.

100

Mike Nowak @snackdog.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Police reports on the suicide.

Mike Nowak @snackdog.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

I believe the post was about city officials blocking record access.

211

Mike Nowak @snackdog.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

I guess you must be pretty invested in this project despite the developers record.

Mike Nowak @snackdog.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

From his resume he seems like an accomplished journalist. It does make you wonder why the felonies of the Southtown developer are not more widely reported.

Awesome! Still waiting for safe crosswalks on my part of Packard too. The crosswalk at Rosewood where the kids run across Packard to get to Pattengill school seems dangerous.

Taylor called Rabhi and people at the watch party witnessed it and reported it. Rabhi is doing a speech now on instagram.

Mike Nowak @snackdog.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

I’m told Taylor has conceded.

000

Mike Nowak @snackdog.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

I’m told Taylor just conceded.

Mike Nowak @snackdog.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Why isn’t the county reporting more votes?

000

Mike Nowak @snackdog.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

I would agree but there have been no new results for almost an hour!

Mike Nowak @snackdog.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Maybe we just don’t want a neoliberal corporate Democrat.

010

Mike Nowak @snackdog.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

No we are in opposition to a council and mayor who are all about group think and not listening to the people who live in Ann Arbor now. You have a fantasy that we are all republicans and nothing could be further from the truth.

But also if you are on the old upgrade program, you have to pay off your old phone first then You can trade it in.

I would like some better coverage too.

I was told verbally by Dr. Stults and by Shoshanna by email that some kind of energy credits are the plan to get to A2Zero.

010

Mike Nowak @snackdog.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

The “billion dollars” seems pretty unlikely — we need a phase 2 study to know for sure, and not use a DTE talking point.

100

Mike Nowak @snackdog.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

Despite your disgust for this journalist (she is not my favorite either), it should not be surprising. Both the director of the SEU and Dr. Stults told me that carbon offsets or renewable energy credits are their plan to get to A2Zero. Is that a good use of money? Or should we buy renewable energy?

210

Mike Nowak @snackdog.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

But is this the plan? Do you think the quotes by Dr, Stults are made up?

200

Mike Nowak @snackdog.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

I agree that the A2 Independent is not the best source but there are several quotes from Dr. Stults and if they are not made up, then buying carbon offsets seems like the plan.

Maybe you can explain why Woodbury Gardens has blocked fixing water and sewer issues on Coler and South Blvd for the last 6 years?

Our air Quality Index is now 500. ChatGPT advises bringing our chickens indoors until the AQI drops well below 150. They are in a big dog crate in the basement now. #backyardchickens

We are trying to get enough signatures to get on the ballot to create a public utility board. Our council funded a phase 1 study but not a detailed phase 2 study.

Mike Nowak @snackdog.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

We are trying in Ann Arbor. The political establishment is against us saying it’s too expensive and too late. annarborpublicpower.org

Also parts of Chelsea are serviced by Consumers Energy, I believe.

I wonder how long it will take to be accepted to test?

000

Mike Nowak @snackdog.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

I believe it was the local UAW.

000

Mike Nowak @snackdog.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

UAW also endorsed Yousef Rabhi.

100

Mike Nowak @snackdog.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

Sure sounds like he took some time.

“As mayor, he will fight to lower costs in Ann Arbor by building truly affordable housing, protecting public services and holding corporations accountable.”

Mike Nowak @snackdog.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

“From taking on (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) to leading the fight for single-payer health care in Michigan, Yousef Rabhi has had the courage to stand up for working people and challenge powerful interests,” Sanders said.

Mike Nowak @snackdog.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

From the Michigan Daily: During a speech announcing his endorsement, Sanders said Rabhi is committed to expanding public healthcare and making Ann Arbor more affordable overall.
