NAMRATHA SATHISH

Promoting Indian heritage

DAVID SONG/Daily

LSA junior Hank Martin skateboards at Palmer Field 
on Monday.

FLIP IT UP

Engineering junior Namratha 

Sathish is the president of the 
University’s Indian American 
Student Association. Founded in 
1983, the organization promotes 
Indian culture and heritage on 
campus. With more than 600 
members, IASA is one of the Uni-
versity’s largest student organi-
zations.

What is the Indian American 

Student Association?

The 
Indian 
American 

Student 
Association 
was 

formed 
initially 
with 
the 

purpose of giving people of 
Indian origin, who have been 
born and brought up in the U.S., 
a gathering place on campus. So 
what started out as a place to 

gather socially developed into 
this organization that does a lot 
more throughout the year. 

We have five different pillars 

to our org; our main focus is 
always community service and 
giving back. So our biggest 
event of the year is the Gandhi 
Day of Service during which we 
get about 250 volunteers to do 
different service projects in and 
around the Detroit Metro Area.
We also have a huge culture 
show; it’s the largest student-
run 
production 
in 
North 

America. 

With that we’re able to 

involve about 300 people, which 
includes dancers and organizers 
and we have about 4,000 people 
that attend the show every year 
in Hill Auditorium.

What compelled you to 
join the organization?

I came to the University 

of Michigan from California. 
I didn’t know anyone when 
I came here and I knew I 
wanted to get involved in an 
organization or activity that 
was somewhat related to my 
culture. 

I 
didn’t 
have 
a 
lot 
of 

that where I lived; it was a 
community that had a smaller 
proportion of Indians. So I 
joined mostly to make friends 
as well because I didn’t know 
anybody here, but the fact 
that I could also go out of my 
comfort zone with dancing and 
performing definitely seemed 
like a cool idea.

Income inequality increases 
in Washtenaw County

‘U’ researchers 

analyze fluxuation in 
wages and poverty, 
among other factors

By GENEVIEVE HUMMER

Daily Staff Reporter

The Huron Valley Central 

Labor 
Council 
released 
a 

report Monday detailing the 
state of economic inequality 
in Washtenaw County, titled 
“Growing Together or Drifting 
Apart.”

Ian Robinson, president of 

the HVCLC, formed a team 
of six University scholars to 
investigate wage fluxuation, 
poverty and income inequality 
in Washtenaw County since 
2005. The group was also asked 
to predict where the trends 
might head in the future.

The 
team 
also 
includes 

Economics 
Prof. 
Thomas 

Weisskopf, 
Sociology 
Prof. 

Howard Kimeldorf, Statistics 
Prof. David Reynolds, assistant 
research scientist Roland Zullo 
and Rackham student Denise 
Bailey.

The investigation found that 

income inequality is on the 
rise and, after accounting for 
inflation, that more than half 
of the county’s residents have 
seen their pay decline.

The report also stated that 

one-third of workers and one-
quarter of households in the 
county did not earn enough in 
2013 to satisfy basic needs as 
specified in a 2014 report from 
United Way.

The Asset Limited, Income 

Restrained, 
Employment 

report report assesses financial 
hardship 
in 
the 
state 
of 

Michigan, with the goal of 
identifying “the extent of the 
economic challenges” faced by 
the state’s residents.

In addition, the committee 

found that nine out of 10 of 
the fastest-growing jobs pay 
too little to meet the ALICE 
report’s 
definition 
of 
basic 

needs.

“I think what it says is that by 

itself the economic marketplace 
is not going to deliver broadly 
shared family supporting jobs,” 
Reynolds said. “Yes, the good 
news is there are jobs out there 
and they are going to continue 
to come, but it’s going to take 
concrete 
intervention 
and 

planning to make those jobs 
family-supporting.”

The report said the trends 

found in Washtenaw County 
are occurring in many other 
communities in the country, 
and have been growing since 
the mid-1970s.

Ultimately, 
the 
report 

recommends 
the 
creation 

of a task force composed of 
community 
organization 

leaders, 
organized 
labor, 

businessmen 
and 
women, 

elected officials and social 
science researchers.

Reynolds said the task force 

will investigate how other local 
governments have combated 
similar issues and then propose 
initiatives 
to 
reverse 
the 

current trends.

“Leaders will really kind of 

investigate what have other 
localities done at the municipal 
and county level that seems to 
have worked and is relevant to 
Washtenaw County and make 
some recommendations of what 
are some concrete things that 
we can do locally to kind of 
build for this shared future,” 
Reynolds said.

The task force, which has 

already been created, includes 
Paul Saginaw, co-founder and 
co-owner 
of 
Zingerman’s, 

Chuck Warpehoski, a member 
of the Ann Arbor City Council 
and State Rep. Jeff Irwin (D–
Ann Arbor), among others.

Councilmember Jane Lumm listens to a presentation on the budget for the City of Ann Arbor at Larcom City Hall Monday.
Councilmembers discuss 
2016-2017 budget options

As possible deficit 

looms, work sessions 
continue before vote

By LARA MOEHLMAN

Daily Staff Reporter

If the city continues existing 

operations through the 2017 
fiscal year, Ann Arbor will 
experience a $72,262 budget 
deficit, according to a budget 
work session Monday night.

Craig Hupy, the Ann Arbor 

public services administrator, 
presented a review of the city’s 
water, sewer, solid waste and 
storm water funds.

Hupy 
also 
reviewed 
the 

progress 
of 
the 
Residuals 

Handling Improvements Project, 
Facilities Renovations Project, 
the tree removal and pruning 
project and fleet services.

Budget projections

Tom Crawford, the city’s chief 

financial officer, presented a plan 
for fiscal years 2016 and 2017, 
providing an overview of the 

city’s General Fund and Street 
Millage Fund, among others.

Crawford’s 
presentation 

showed fiscal year 2017 revenues 
of the city anticipated to total 
$98,887,473, while the city’s 
expenditures 
are 
projected 

to reach $98,959,735, leaving 
$72,262 in deficit.

Water Fund

Other topics of concern involved 

the review and projections of the 
city’s Water Fund.

Hupy said cities are using less 

water nationally, and noted Ann 
Arbor is no exception.

“That is a national trend,” 

Hupy said. “... As the message 
about water conservation is sent 
out across the whole nation it’s 
having an impact not only in the 
west … it’s also affecting those of 
us east of the Mississippi.”

As a result, water bills in Ann 

Arbor are increasing to make up 
for the loss in sales.

Councilmember Sabra Briere 

(D–Ward 1) expressed concern 
over this issue.

“Everything that I get from 

the 
city 
encourages 
me 
to 

conserve and use less and I’m 
ready for that, but the incentive is 
being taken away when you raise 
my prices,” Briere said.

Hupy said the issue is not 

just a local one but a concern for 
the national water and sewer 
industry.

Recycling costs

Another 
issue 
discussed 

by council members was the 
widening gap between cost and 
revenue numbers concerning the 
city’s solid waste management, 
specifically recycling.

The city currently levies a tax 

to provide funds for solid waste 
management. After recyclable 
goods are collected, certain items 
can be sold for revenue. Hupy’s 
presentation 
examined 
how 

the cost of the recycling service 
is 
increasing 
and 
exceeding 

revenue generated by the process 
as taxes and revenue remain 
stable.

Councilmember 
Sumi 

Kailasapathy (D–Ward 1) asked 
Hupy why the cost of recycling 
services is increasing.
