opportunity; e-government calls for interaction and sharing between all levels of government and government agencies. (Denhardt and Denhardt, 2009) If cooperation is lacking, e-government initiatives cannot be successful. In a particular case study of “Sun County”, the real location name was changed for confidentiality purposes; the implementation of a new GIS (Geographic Information System) was followed for several years in order to focus on the process of e-government rather than the outcome or outputs that

The water crisis in Flint Michigan was a travesty of justice and could have been avoided. While examining this unfortunate incidence, the truth of what happened is clear, conscience and deplorable that the choice in cost-cutting measures would lead to contaminated water that was harmful to many. The water crisis could have happened in any town or city in America, or could it. However, Flint, Michigan a place 70 miles north of Detroit, which once thrived as the home of the nation’s largest General
Flint, Michigan is in a state of emergency, but help isn’t coming fast enough. The seepage of toxic lead into drinking water pipes has created a widespread public health crisis which has prompted President Obama to declare a federal state of emergency.

WADSWORTH — A number of Wayne County residents who turned up for what they believed would be a public comment meeting organized by a federal commission to air concerns about the NEXUS pipeline seemed to be equally upset with the project and the new format for the “meeting.” Deb Adkins, whose house is within 100 feet or so of the original path, was surprised to discover FERC changed the format of the meeting.

Canadian Waste in Michigan In 1986, a waste treaty between Canada and the U.S. was signed by American lawmakers concerning the Transboundary Movement of Hazardous Waste. Under the terms of this treaty, the EPA is to receive notification of these shipments, and then would have 30 days to consent or object to the shipment.

DETROIT, known as the "Automotive Capital of the World," is the largest city in the state of Michigan. The city sits at the heart of an official three-county metropolitan region comprising Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb counties. As we look at the current condition of Detroit Michigan, you would ponder what made the city look so ran down and why did everyone abandoned a once known as a beautiful city.
