Indispensable!
Hi, it’s me again. I got up early so I could bring you a new story about Highland Park schools and the letter our Governor sent to parents in that school district. The letter was clearly aimed at riling them up and encouraging them to demand their elected officials willingly step aside to let the state come in and run their affairs.
Want to know how the Detroit Free Press reported that? With the headline “Highland Park Schools in jeopardy of closing, governor says in letter”. No mention of the fact that the Highland Park School board has already put in place a deficit elimination plan. No mention of the fact that they’d like to manage their own affairs, thank you very much.
That’s why you come here, I suspect. So that you can get a different side of the story, one you won’t find elsewhere. It’s why Rachel Maddow called Eclectablog “The indispensable Michigan politics source”. It’s why Jonathan Mahler of the New York Times Magazine called it “an indispensable blog on the Michigan political scene”. It’s why Laura Flanders described it as “invaluable”.
If you find Eclectablog invaluable, I’m asking for your support. You won’t find flashing gif ads here. You won’t find ads for sexy Russian singles or losing weight FAST!. If you find ads here, they will be for progressive groups or local businesses.
