TO: ALL ELECTED OFFICIALS SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN
In recent weeks there has been circulated among some local officials fanciful reports
concerning our Council published in a Wayne County weekly newspaper.
The inaccuracies contained in these publications require repudiation, and / would do this
with the following statements:
The Southeast Michigan Council of Governments has taken no position on the issue of state
control of land use the matter is pending and may be discussed in future meetings of our Council.
Member governments, will of course, have the deciding voice in any action or policy position.
The Southeast Michigan Council of Governments has never endorsed, nor participated in,
nor taken any action concerning proposals once made by Metropolitan Fund, Inc., in 1971 suggesting
"paired towns" or "brother-sister community programs". At the time the Metropolitan Fund, inc., report
endorsing this concept was published, the then chairman of our Council, Mel Ravitz, formally rejected
the concept as "unrealistic and impractical" and his statement is included in the published report.
No other statement from our organization nor anyone connected with it has ever been made concerning
this proposal and there is nothing in any element of the SEMCOG General Development Plan for 1990
reflecting any influence of this concept.
As all of us know, media responsibility in ascertaining and publishing the facts is a
continuing problem. We believe it significant that of nearly 65 newspapers in our seven-county region,
none has published anything remotely resembling the reports referred to above.
