Testing, testing, testing ...
None of this may be true, but this is the latest buzz.
A former city council woman we won't identify by name, but who has been known around town as Jean Guyor, is suing the city because she clumsily tripped on the steps at the Main Street office and twisted something.
This might sound like a petty thoughtless lawsuit, but it really is public spirited.
Story is if Jean wins, the proceeds will be plowed into the historical society to remake the leftowners of the union camp plant into a River Raisin battlefield interpretitive museum.
This all amounts to a big test.
It's a test of civic-mindedness on the part of a past civil servant.
It's a test of county judges to see if they can dance out of the way of this one.
It's a test of city code enforcement to see if some nasty old nonconforming steps somehow escaped their eyes.
What's neat about this is that no matter who wins, we all win.

What a joke. Is she sueing because she is hurt, or because she wants to leave a legacy to the eventually defunct interpretive museum? Someone probably pushed her, or if not, then they should have. She will fail any test if she is sueing for the latter. The taxpayers will be the ones paying out. Wonder how it would have looked if she had beat Jeremy Molenda for the council seat? Would she have sued then? Sore loser!
I think this requires some discussion by a more diverse audience, so I must post this on the shnooze web site.
Since no one has heard of this, I would have to think that the observer is either on the Main Street board, City Council, or City Staff. Has to be someone on the inside somewhere.
Hey, I read about this on the Monroe News.com site, so where's the proof? Whats the real story? Are you just making this up?
