Flood Law Attorney Works to Bring PGA Golf Tournament to Detroit

PGA Tour could come to Detroit in fall 2011

Lynn Henning / The Detroit News

Detroit, Michigan’s brief exile from the PGA Tour could be history as Detroit Golf Club negotiates to host a tournament next autumn, with mid-year events being sought from 2012-16.

Todd Flood, past president of the DGC and now a member of the club’s board of directors, confirmed Friday the club is doing due diligence in its attempts to restore the Tour to a state that hasn’t hosted a tournament since the 2009 Buick Open.

Currently, the Detroit Golf Club is doing due diligence with regard to a PGA Tour event for the fall of 2011, said Flood, whose attorney practice is based in Detroit and Royal Oak. We also hope to have a PGA Tour event on a regular basis from 2012 through 2016.

We’re looking at the possibility of the Tour being a regular stop here through those years and we’re doing our diligence on that, as well.

Flood confirmed serious discussions have taken place with a sponsor, whose identity he declined to reveal. (more…)

Todd Flood Represents Ex-DPS Superintendent in Harassment Suit

Ex-DPS superintendent files harassment suit against board

BY CHASTITY PRATT DAWSEY
FREE PRESS EDUCATION WRITER

The former Detroit Public Schools superintendent filed a whistle- blower lawsuit Thursday against top school officials and the school board, alleging she suffered discrimination, sexual harassment and wrongful termination.

The lawsuit filed by Teresa Gueyser says she was fired in retaliation for her refusal to comply with sexual advances and a hostile work environment.

In it, Robert Bobb, the state-appointed DPS emergency financial manager, is accused of having surveillance equipment planted in Gueyser’s office, stripping her of authority and making DPS “a cesspool of dysfunction, male-dominated cronyism, ego-driven, divisive and unlawful power grabs and gender-based harassment and discrimination.” (more…)

September 27, 2010

Detroit –Harvey Malone’s house was burglarized and his SUV was firebombed. He lived in fear and worried the man who had terrorized him for years would return.
The Korean War veteran spent sleepless nights staring out his front window on Detroit’s west side and bought a gun off the street for $75 to protect himself.
One night in January 2008, the man he feared did return to slash the tires of Malone’s new vehicle with a knife.
The elderly man stepped out on his porch, followed the younger man, then lifted the gun and fired as the two men faced each other. “I didn’t have a choice,” Malone said. “He would have killed me.” (more…)

SAGINAW The growth of medical marijuana-related businesses in Saginaw lags behind that of other communities, Saginaw City Attorney Thomas H. Fancher said.

We seem to be little behind the times here, He said. There are about eight different compassion clubs in Ann Arbor.

It’s sort of less open here, maybe, or less active here, even though we were about eight to nine month ahead of the other communities in taking a look at it and trying to get (zoning issues) organized. (more…)
