People trying to write
about Michigan recount
tossing around the word
“irregularity” don’t seem to
know what that word means.

More
than
100
people
gathered
to
hear
Dan
Gilmartin,
the
executive
director and CEO of the
nonprofit Michigan Municipal
League,
speak
on
urban
development
strategies
at
the University of Michigan’s
Ford School of Public Policy
Wednesday.
The lecture, sponsored by
the Public Policy School’s
Center for Local, State, and
Urban Policy and the Taubman
College of Architecture and
Urban Planning, was aimed
at educating students about
placemaking,
which
is
an
economic strategy to boost
city
appeal
by
sponsoring
events or creating interesting
sites to attract a community.
Examples
of
placemaking
include areas like Campus
Martius,
a
park
between
office buildings in downtown
Detroit, and events that bring
a community together like
ArtPrize in Grand Rapids.
Gilmartin spoke primarily
about
placemaking
in
Michigan, focusing on how
the majority of the state lacks
the fundamental features of
a lucrative place to live for
young people. He described
placemaking as improving the
human experience.
“We found now that quality
is life is where people are
going and certainly where
people with means and where
people with entrepreneurial
spirit and where people with
access to all sorts of different
things are going,” Gilmartin
said. “So, it’s one in the same
now about creating that great
place in terms of creating a
great economy.”
Gilmartin
said
college
graduates
can
be
more
interested in finding a place to
live before finding a job in that
area. Citing the competition
among cities to appeal to
young people, he listed eight
characteristics localities use
for
placemaking:
physical
design
and
walkability,
messaging
and
technology,
green
initiatives,
ability
to be welcoming, cultural
economic
development,
transit, entrepreneurship and
education.
One of the largest challenges
Michigan
currently
faces,
Gilmartin said, is the lack of
public transportation. He told
the crowd about speaking to
a friend who spent three and
a half hours plus a mile-and-
a-half walk travelling from
downtown Detroit to Somerset
Mall in the metro-Detroit
suburb of Troy using public
transportation. The distance
between the two places is 22
miles — a 25-minute drive by
car.
CLOSUP
collaborated
with the Michigan Municipal
League, among others, on a
Michigan Public Policy Survey
that was published in 2014,
showing that local Michigan
governments have increased
their
use
of
placemaking.
Between 2009 and 2013, there
was a 60-percent increase in
the number of jurisdictions
partaking
in
placemaking
activities.
“This is an area of growth
in
Michigan
among
local
governments and the private
sector
and
other
non-
governmental organizations,”
said Thomas Ivacko, CLOSUP
manager and administrator.
“It is a pretty exciting, new
place to turn, I think, to help
improve the quality of life in
Michigan.”

JENNIFER MAIORANA
For the Daily
Green Party presidential
nominee Jill Stein, who came
fourth in the national popular
vote in the 2016 presidential
election, requested a recount
in the state of Michigan
Wednesday. Stein has also
called or filed for recounts in
Wisconsin and Pennsylvania —
all states that President-elect
Donald Trump narrowly won
that were crucial in securing the
Electoral College for him.
Following the suggestion of
potential vote manipulation in
the three states by researchers
including University of Michigan
professor J. Alex Halderman,
Stein has stated she is pushing
for recounts to ensure the
integrity of the election
results. Last week, a group of
computer scientists and election
lawyers led by Halderman
pointed out the possibility of
vote manipulation by hacking
in these three states. The
group consulted heavily with
Democratic presidential nominee
Hillary Clinton, urging her and
her team to file for recounts,
according to media reports.
Though her campaign will
participate in Stein’s Wisconsin
attempt, she has not pursued any
recall petitions independently.
Stein, who has also said she
believes the use of outdated
and unreliable machines could
alter the results of such an
important election and pointed
to the relatively high number of
ballots in Michigan without a
presidential vote, has raised $6.7
million total for the recounts in
the three states.
The first recount Stein has
secured, in Wisconsin, is slated
to begin Thursday. Despite
Stein’s request for a hand count,
a judge ruled earlier this week
that the recount does not have
to happen entirely by hand,
allowing instead a facilitated
process through a machine.
According to the Wisconsin
State Journal, Stein has paid the
Wisconsin Elections Commission
$3.5 million and will be billed
for any additional costs after the
recount is completed by Dec. 12.
In the petition filed
Wednesday for Michigan, Stein
is also seeking a hand recount.
The state, which hasn’t voted
for a Republican candidate since
1988, was a surprise swing state
this election, and Trump won
by a narrow margin of 10,704.
Michigan’s recount could begin
as soon as Friday in the largest of
the state’s 19 counties, followed
by the rest. The State’s Election
Commission has said it hopes to
finish the recount by Dec. 10, and
it is anticipated to cost anywhere
between $2 to $4 million. Stein
is required to shoulder the
bulk of the costs, but what isn’t
covered by the state’s fee of
$125 per precinct —which totals
to slightly less than a million
dollars overall — will fall on
individual counties.
However, state Republicans
are opposing the recount over
concerns that state counties will
have to pay for any part of it not
covered by Stein’s contributions
and have also challenged the
necessity of it.
“Jill Stein’s taxpayer
funded temper tantrum will
waste millions and will not
change anything regarding
the Presidential election,” said
Michigan Republican Party
Chairman Ronna Romney
McDaniel in a press release.
“Jill Stein should withdraw
her request immediately, and
Michigan Democrats should join
in our call for her to do so.”
