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.”

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.”
