State Rep. Robert Kosowski (D-
Westland) has been honored as the
Michigan Municipal League 2017
Legislator of the Year. The award was for-
mally presented to Kosowski during the
annual Capital Conference Awards Gala
March 21 inLansing.
Kosowski represents Michigan's 16th
House District, which comprises a portion
of Westland and the entireCity ofWayne.
Kosowski is serving his third term in the
House, and before serving in the
Legislature he worked as Westland Parks
andRecreation director. He worked for the
city for more than 20 years andwas amem-
ber of many advisory boards. Kosowski
studied business management at Adrian
College and Wayne State University. He
and his wife, Elizabeth, have two sons,
Andrewand Austin. The family has lived in
Westland for nearly 20 years.
Wayne Mayor Susan Rowe presented
Kosowski with the award last Tuesday.
“During his time in the state House,
Representative Kosowski has distin-
guished himself as a thoughtful policy
maker and earned the respect of his col-
leagues on both sides of the aisle,” Rowe
said. “Representative Kosowski has proven
time and again that he values good policy
over partisanship. His door is always open
to the League and his constituents. The
League looks forward to working in part-
nershipwith him through the remainder of
his time inLansing.”
Kosowski has been an outspoken, sup-
portive voice on numerous issues that have
been critical to the Michigan Municipal
League and its member communities,
including his leadership in attempting to
restore cuts to revenue sharing, protecting
Tax Increment Financing as an economic
development tool, and supporting govern-
ment immunity in the event of sewer back-
ups during extreme rainfall, Rowe said.
The honor is presented each year to
lawmakers for their instrumental actions
in theMichigan State Legislature on behalf
of local communities.
These individuals are recognized for
their efforts in the approval of legislation
that will benefit local governments or who
have fought consistently to support local
government.
And the title goes to…
The Wayne-Westland Distinguished Young Woman for 2018 is Ashley Socia, cen-
ter, of John Glenn High School. First Runner Up and Distinguished Young
Woman of Westland is Sariah Bolden, left, and Second Runner Up and
Distinguished Young Woman of Wayne is Danielle Deel of Wayne, right. All three
will represent Wayne and Westland in the state program in Saline on July 15. The
Distinguished Young Woman program awarded $8,200 in scholarship funds this
year to nine high school juniors who participated in the event earlier this month at
Wayne Memorial High School.
The Healthy Wayne Community coali-
tion will sponsor the 2nd Annual Healthy
Wayne Community Walk beginning at
noonApril 5.
The walk is in conjunction with
NationalWalkingDay.
Registration will begin at 11:30 a.m. at
Wayne City Hall, 3355 S. Wayne Road in
Wayne. Participants should wear walking
shoes and dress comfortably. This is an
effort of the American Heart Association
to encourage people to walk 30 minutes a
day for heart health. There is no entry fee
and the event is open to the public.
to pursue a recall effort, but that he felt
any claim that he mistreated or was rude
to residentswas somewhat disingenuous.
“When you chair the meetings, you
know you are going to get a certain
amount of abuse. It goeswith the job.
“I admit that when these same people
stand up, week after week, and accuse me
of misdeeds, of actual felonies, I may be
curt in my denials. I've taken a significant
amount of abuse from a group of people
who are critical of everything that goes on
in the city.”
Godbout went on to say that several of
these group members use social media to
criticize any action the administration and
council take often without complete
knowledge or understanding of the issues.
He added that he feels this is a contrived
political move in an attempt to replace
certain members of the council who are
not amenable to specific agendas of these
negative political factions.
“Look, I just can't let this affect my plan
as to how to domy job on the city council,”
he said. “When people are fair and rea-
sonable with me, I am certainly fair and
reasonablewith them.”
Boron said that he had been consider-
ing taking the action since January when
he “first thought about it.” He said that he
is not backed by any political group and so
far has spent about $150 in personal funds
on the recall effort.
Following approval of the petitions last
week, Boron and his “group of about 25
volunteers” will have 90 days to gather
5,550 petition signatures of registered vot-
ers in Westland. The required number is
based on a percentage of the number of
votes cast in the last gubernatorial elec-
tion. If the group is successful, and the
petition signatures validated, the issue
will go on the ballot of the next regular
election in the city. In Westland, that will
be in November and Godbout's name
would appear on the ballot along with that
of any challenger for his seat.
“Basically, they will have forced me to
stand for election one more time,”
Godbout said. “This isn't going to distract
me. I can only continue to do my job and
act in the best interests of our citizens.”
