Voters reject public safety millage, reelect mayor
Romulus driver will spend 25-50 years in prison
The requested 6.5 mills for
funding public safety was defeated
by Van Buren Township voters last
week.
Voters cast 1,933 no votes on the
question, defeating the 1,543 yes
votes. The negative votes cast were
about 56 percent of the total while
the favorable votes were about 44
percent of those cast. The millage
would have been for seven years
and would have generated about
$6.5 million to fund police and fire
operations in the township.
Voters were more favorable
toward a sinking fund millage
request from the school district,
casing 2,681 votes, or 51 percent, in
favor of a 0.5 mill levy for seven
years to be used for building and
site improvements in the district.
The millage, which garnered 49
percent or 2,576 no votes will gen-
erate about $753,000 the first year.
Incumbent Belleville Mayor
Kerreen Conley was returned to
office by 58 percent of the voters
who cast a total of 327 votes for her.
Challenger Phillip Miller received
42 percent of the votes for a total of
241.
Four-year terms on the
Belleville City Council will be
served by Jack Loria, who
received a total of 336 votes or 33
percent and Tom Smith, who
received 357 votes or 36 percent of
the total. JimShrove followedwith
311 votes or 31 percent of the total
votes cast.
Kimberly Garrett, 39, of
Romulus will spend 25 to 50
years in prison for her plea-based
conviction in the hit-and-run
death of aWestland child.
Judge Mark Slavens handed
down the prison sentence last
week on the charge of second
degree murder in the death of 8-
year-old Kayale Fruge. A sen-
tence of 10-15 years in prison for
Garrett's conviction on a charge
of operating while intoxicated
causing death was also imposed
and will be served concurrently,
according to the office of the
WayneCountyProsecutor.
Garrett has been jailed since
her arrest June 20 when police
alleged she ran off the road on
Darwin Street near Delton Court
in Westland and drove her vehi-
cle into the yard of a home where
8-year-old Kayale Fruge was
standing. Garrett left the scene
without stopping and a witness
followed her vehicle from
Darwin Street to her home in
Romulus where police subse-
quently arrestedher.
The child, transported from
the scene by EMTs to a local hos-
pital, remained on life support
for several days before succumb-
ing to his injuries. He had just
completed the second grade at
Thorne
Intermediate
Elementary School and was liv-
ing with his mother in the neigh-
borhood where Garrett's car
struck him. He died of blunt force
trauma, according to an autopsy
report from the Wayne County
Medical Examiner's office.
Garrett entered a no contest
plea to a charge that she was
driving under the influence in an
arrangement with the prosecu-
tor's office. Original charges of
reckless driving causing death,
operating while intoxicated and
leaving the scene of an accident
were dismissed in exchange for
her no contest plea to the second
degreemurder charge.
Earlier reports indicated that
Garrett told police officers at the
time of her arrest that she had
consumed cocaine, heroin,
Ambien, Prozac and beer before
driving down the residential
street where her vehicle struck
the child. She was arrested in
March for driving under the
influence of drugs and told police
that she was in outpatient treat-
ment for drug use. She said she
began using drugs again in
March, according to police
reports.
Romulus has again been rec-
ognized for its work to foster
entrepreneurial growth and eco-
nomic development in the annu-
al eCities study conducted by
researchers at iLabs, the
University of Michigan-Dearborn
Center for Innovation Research.
For the fifth time, Romulus has
been honored as a four-star com-
munity along with 17 other
municipalities across the state.
“We work hard to assure our
residents and businesses in
Romulus are afforded the unpar-
alleled opportunity to be suc-
cessful,” said Mayor LeRoy D.
Burcroff. “By utilizing best busi-
ness practices, we have created
an environment that businesses
want to be a part of.”
The eCities research sur-
veyed 66 communities from 29
counties in Michigan that are
home to more than 19 percent of
Michigan residents and 10 per-
cent of its college graduates.
These communities count for
nearly one-fifth of the state's
entrepreneurs who earned more
than $1.8 billion in self-employed
income, according to a prepared
release from the city. More than
60 percent of these communities
have a local business database,
nearly a third provide business
improvement grants, and nearly
40 percent have full-time eco-
nomic development employees,
the release stated.
“The eCities project high-
lights how local governments
fromacross the state of Michigan
are cultivating and supporting
economic development. These
communities show how local
governments canwork in distinct
and strategic ways to energize
public spaces, while investing in
businesses and job develop-
ment,” said Tim Davis, director,
iLabs.
The annual eCities research
project, which began in 2007,
uses data supplied by the partici-
pants, as well as other public
records to assemble a six-factor,
32-item index of entrepreneurial
activity, looking at such factors as
clustering, incentives, growth,
policies, community and educa-
tion. The study focuses on entre-
preneurship because of its
importance to expansion and
diversification of Michigan
regional economies and the
impact small businesses have on
job creation. To date, 199 com-
munities across Michigan have
participated in the study.
The eCities project highlights
how local governments from across
the state of Michigan are cultivating
and supporting economic development.
