  • Interview with Bruce Trevithick: Facts the Board Should Have Had
    May 17 2026

    Bruce is the Executive Director of the Genesee County Medical Control Authority, which collects data and oversees administration of the County's EMS system. In this interview he presents all the facts regarding Exclusive Contracts and the Geofencing model that the Township opted to approve because it protects their political donors. These are the facts that only Scott and Dennis had; they chose not to share the complete picture with the board, and as usual, directed the unanimous vote.

  • Why Recall! Road Diet on Fenton Road ! Petitions start May 2!
    Apr 27 2026

    Lonnie and Monica talk about all the problems that have come to light SINCE the language for the recall was approved. Anthony Hudson told the board back then that we'd be wathing the and urged them to "act better." Well, folks, they haven't. After the incident at East Middle school where a mother was told it would be two hours before an ambulance would arrive, the board acted on limited information to approve a substandard ambulance contract - Geofencing - that does NOT guarantee response times, and leaves our community, of 40,000 people with 14 daily calls with only two ambulances to cover our needs. Why? because Patriot Ambulance is owned by donors to Scott Bennett's campaign.

    On the fire front we now have two lawsuits: one over the 160,000 dollar foia charge, (COVERUP) and a second one brough by firefighters over retaliation by Mr. Liimatta for speaking out in support of Chief Jent. The board has ignored Chief Jent's recommendations and are still planning to hire consultants instead.

    They've added a 125,000 administrative assistant to the already over-compenstated Mr. Liimatta, they've added several new positions in PR and DPW desk jobs without finding any money for the needed full-time firefighters.

    Mr. Bennett simply shrugged in the face of flooding caused by our 87 year old storm drain system.

    They are not listening to the many people who came out to protest the Fenton Road Diet.

    Petitions start circulating May 2. Email at petitions@gbrecall.com or call (815) 4RECALL if you'd like to have them brought to you or your neighborhood.
