remain in power. I know all of my posts have been long winded, but I'm stating the truth. It also would be helpful to consider maybe getting a major university to build a large campus near Port Huron - that seems to be partially helpful in Colorado, where I now happily call home.

They need to realize that the manufacturing industry, for all purposes, is no longer an economically feasible alternative, given the damage the crash in 2008 did to the economy, and also the continued relocation of operations to third world countries. City leaders need to step back and examine what industries are, at present, economically feasible to put our nation back in the forefront. Sadly, I don't ever see it happening as long as the individuals who've held power in the city for 2 decades

As a society, we need to learn to forgive those who served time in prison for what they did, and allow them a real second chance at a life instead of condemning them for their past. It is our own actions that contribute directly to these types of individuals repeatedly getting arrested for crimes because they simply have no other options, or having to go through shelter after shelter while having no other options. On the work force end, city leaders and industry leaders in the area need to think

and also that of all these companies that pack up and leave...well simply put, because of both noted examples, you have a homelessness problem within the city. Add to that the many individuals you can see at the local soup kitchen and who have been rotatining in and out of the local shelters for the last several years thanks to mental illness or a criminal record, and you'll understand why the city is in this predicament. Regarding those with a criminal record, we have only ourselves to blame.

Port Huron's leadership cannot accept this fact. Again and again, I will read the news from back in Port Huron and hear of city council and the Mayor respectively trying to lure in more manufacturing corporations to set up shop. The trouble is that it's not exactly working. Laurie Sample-Wynn and the others who run the city have been in power for the better part of 20 plus years - they simply cannot seem to get a grip on the changed economy. It is a direct result of their economic "stewardship"

(from previous post) that it's hard to really truly understand the impact all of the factory closings have had on the region. Much of the private sector and a good portion of the public sectors of industry around Port Huron were highly intertwined with the manufacturing industry, and with each company that goes out of business or packs up and leaves to head overseas, you'll see jobs lost in other areas that are dependent upon those who worked at those plants. What's truly sad is that (continued)

Reverend, I ran across this video by accident here. There are far more than 3 individuals who are homeless in the Port Huron area. I once counted myself as one of them almost 4 years ago. There are only 2 shelters there, and both of them tend to be full of people, many of whom are trying to support a family, but cannot find work in any part of Michigan. Port Huron is especially hurting for work - so many manufacturing facilities have closed down there (continued in next post)

What gets me is even groups trying to STOP the problem will say on the news "There's addicts and felons, we try to help them", I wish at least THEY could look into their own shelters. When I was homeless, i HATED the druggies and felons, because even though they make up about half the homeless population, those who've never been homeless automatically think of them. There should be separate shelters for people who just HAPPEN to be there because they were kicked out or lost their job.
