I have been calling for 28 days for unemployment benefits, no one is there, their auto phone system does not work and I have called the governors office 40 times, spoke with someone 3 times and they said someone would call me? No one had?
Totally not ready for this, very poor management.
No help what so ever, I am so disappointed, I expected so much more, than to be told they could not help me. Waited on the phone for over an hour.
I called the governor's office for help with an issue I am having with the Canton Township DPW destroying the pond in our neighborhood, but received no help at all. The person I spoke to was Alex.
It has to do with the health of the kids who play around the pond because the mosquitoes are terrible.
I talked to Canton Supervisor Pat Williams and he said they didn't do anything wrong and we should clean it up ourselves. You used to be able to put a small boat in the pond to clean it, but now it has been filled up so much you can't get a boat in there.

\Dear Governor Whitmer
I am asking for your help with a problem here at our subdivision in Canton Township. The details are found below in a copy of an email which I sent to the local Detroit television stations.
Canton refuses to clean up the mess they made of our subdivision pond. The attached PDF files are the emails I sent to Canton last week, to which they responded that they have no intention of cleaning this up.
There are also copies of the photos which I sent to Canton Township and the television stations.
Please call me if you have any questions. I am relying on your help to get something done, since Canton refuses to help me.
Thank you.

Dear Channel 2 / 4 / 7 May 28,2019
I live in Canton, MI at the Northwoods Place Subdivision and need your help dealing with Canton Township. Canton has ruined our neighborhood pond by pumping leaves, trash and debris into it. This happened during the week of May 20th, when the Canton DPW truck pumped into our storm sewer drains which empty into the pond. I am also sending this to Governor Whitmer and requesting her help.
This is a small pond, about the size of a swimming pool (see pictures). My husband and I have spent over $7000 during the past years to keep this pond looking nice. Everything was fine until Canton DPW pumped into the drains, last week. Canton had no problem messing up our pond but they will not clean it up.
I spoke to Amy Hughesdon at the Canton Twp. Supervisor s Office (Pat Williams is the Supervisor). She had the Canton DPW call me (Mr. Bob Belair), but he claimed there is nothing they can do or will do about this mess (see pictures). I am also attaching copies of the emails which I sent to Ms. Hughesdon at Canton Twp. this past weekend (PDF files).
I need your help to make Canton clean up the mess they made of our pond. I am attaching pictures to show how nice it once looked and how it looks now. I m also attaching pictures showing that I paid people to clean it in the past. I do not think it s fair for me to pay again to clean up the mess Canton made.
Please call me if you have any questions. I am relying on your help to get something done, since Canton refuses to help me.
Thank you.

Photo files are attached, for enlargement & details:
These photos were taken after Canton DPW pumped into our pond. I saw the DPW truck fill up from the fire hydrant and pump that into the storm drains to blow the dirt, leaves, sticks and debris into our pond. I asked him not to do it, but he did it anyway. Pictures taken the weekend of 5/25-26/2019:
These photos were taken in 2014 the last time Canton DPW pumped sewage from the sewer into our pond (they also refused to clean it up back then & I had to pay someone to clean it):
These photos show how nice the pond once looked:
This is the worse run office I have ever experienced!
I never received renew car registration letter, so my registration expired and I got a ticket which asked me to pay $130. I wrote a letter to Governor Gretchen Whitmer and suggested government system to use letter / email / phone text message to inform people that their cars need renewing ahead of time, but I got no answer from Governor. It seems that governor doesn't want to help Michigan people.
Look at the person who knew the pipes were bad in flint. This man, did not know.
