Albion EDC Board up to Old Tricks – Again – Must be Stopped

As you all know by now, the remaining Board members of the Economic Development Corporation (EDC) have attempted multiple times to hold a meeting after the illegal removal of Board members, in their attempt to reinstate the fired President Virgie Ammerman. Each time, they have yet to have a quorum of the remaining board members that would enable them to place her back on the job.

New Meeting Scheduled and One Hell of a Contract Offered

Once again, they have set another meeting time to put Ammerman on the job. As noted in this article that explains why we are here, CLICK HERE FOR ORIGINAL STORY; they are now trying for Thursday, September 28, 2023, at 12:30 P.M. in the Albion City Council chamber.

The new contract offers even more benefits, including not holding her responsible for stealing confidential documents she took from the EDC and spending money on projects that may have been illegal for her to do. If you want to see the contract they are offering, it differs from the original and is well worth reading. CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE EDC WEBSITE AND READ IT.

Lawsuit Coming Monday

As Ed Haas has attempted to negotiate with the City of Albion over reinstatement for himself and others that were removed by the council, our council is willing to piss away our tax money on something they dam well know was an illegal vote by them. CLICK HERE TO READ THE ARTICLE EXPLAINING HIS LAWSUIT, so Haas has to sue.

Albion Council and EDC Board Willing to Break Laws

Of course, Albion council members don’t care because they think they are protected and safe. To be honest, they are. No one has been willing to step up and challenge them for their seats on the council and recall them. So they are happy to say “Fck you voters”, we will break the law, and you can’t touch us.

So we move forward once again with members of the council who are either stupid and don’t realize they broke the law or are willing to break the law and thumb their noses at you. Either way, Thursday comes again, and a decision must be made. Do you voters accept this, or are you ready to stand up?

Thursday’s Meeting Must not Happen

To the EDC Board members who have not been present for any of these meetings, I want you to know this: Thank you for standing up and fighting lawless council members and EDC board members. Don’t show up again. You not showing up is what Dave Atchison is talking about in his letter to the Editor. CLICK HERE TO READ HIS LETTER.

You are acting “impartial” to protect the citizens and their tax money. You are the true heroes, along with the EDC board members who were removed from office trying to do what is right, which was firing someone who appears to be utterly incompetent in the job for which she was hired. Many fear Ammermans return will give her and those supporters an open check book to spend money illegally.

More to come
