ANN ARBOR, MI — Ann Arbor is close to adopting a new fair housing ordinance to keep landlords from turning away renters with criminal backgrounds.
But based on issues raised by McKinley Inc., a major apartment landlord in the area, officials say the city needs to carve out exceptions for private landlords who are federally required in some cases to take a person’s criminal history into account.

ANN ARBOR, MI — Ann Arbor City Council members have said they want to end personal attacks between each other.
But new council rules aimed at doing so have been the subject of debate for several weeks now.
As the controversy continued this week, one official summed it up as a “toxic political tornado.”
“I got involved in this with good intentions and I thought it was going to simplify some things, but I feel like it’s snowballed into some kind of toxic political tornado,” Council Member Kathy Griswold, D-2nd Ward, said of rules she and a majority of council OK’d to outline potential consequences for personal attacks and a process for redress of grievances.

ANN ARBOR, MI — An Ann Arbor council member’s allegation that an Airbnb property investor hinted at a potential bribe offer in exchange for her vote has been referred to the city attorney and police chief, officials said.
City Attorney Stephen Postema publicly discussed the issue with City Council’s Administration Committee and City Administrator Tom Crawford on Tuesday, Jan. 12.
“It’s certainly an appropriate topic to discuss,” Postema told the committee, which is now exploring whether the city should draft a new rule or policy concerning improper solicitations of council members and requirements for them to report such incidents when they happen.

Meanwhile, Washtenaw County Prosecutor Eli Savit made several policy changes in his first week in office, including scrapping cash bail. “The size of a person’s bank account should never determine their freedom,” he said in a statement. Washtenaw County is the first jurisdiction in the state to eliminate cash bail. Savit also announced he was rescinding “zero tolerance” policies and launching a transparency project with University of Michigan and the ACLU.
