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.

DAIVD SONG/Daily

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.
