My heart goes out to her children, Mark and Gretchen, at this difficult time. — PolitiTweet.org

And of course, her family started Carhartt, one of Detroit's most iconic brands, which gave her the ability to support so many worthy causes so significantly. Our city is a better place because of Gretchen and her generosity. — PolitiTweet.org

When our city's Jazz Festival, which is the largest free public jazz festival in the world, was threatened with closure, it was Gretchen who stepped in to save it. Her gifts have been able to create a new Jazz Center on the campus of Wayne State that bears her name. — PolitiTweet.org

I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Detroit's "Angel of Jazz," Gretchen Valade. Gretchen was one of the most engaging and generous people I've ever met, especially when it came to music and culture. https://t.co/ikMMRASyvZ — PolitiTweet.org

I greatly appreciate everyone on City Council for holding a special session to approve these contracts to help bring integrity back to our towing process. — PolitiTweet.org

With help from City Councilman Coleman A. Young, a champion of towing reform since day one, and approval from the rest of City Council, we ended up with competitively bid contracts with seven companies that we believe are professional and ethical. https://t.co/gXHdQkT5KD — PolitiTweet.org

If anyone deviates from this, a red flag goes up and we can spot it immediately. By removing the ability to profit and adding oversight, we believe the days of rampant theft and corruption are now over. — PolitiTweet.org

We also now have a software system DPD Chief James White installed that takes the decision of which towing company to call out of officers' hands. Now every request for a tow goes through a central software system that assigns it to the next company in line. https://t.co/FhZciRGpXs — PolitiTweet.org

With today's action all of the stolen vehicles within the city of Detroit will come to Detroit Police tow yards and no one will have to pay out of pocket to get their car back. https://t.co/ZhbWqYvoyO — PolitiTweet.org

We took major steps today towards cleaning up the long-standing problems with towing practices in the city. There was something seriously wrong with victims of car theft having to pay for storage if and when their vehicle was recovered. https://t.co/D9zHuQglxS — PolitiTweet.org

Special thanks to the Detroit Area Pre-College Engineering Program (DAPCEP) and Intl. Outdoor, who supplied the billboards to promote the event. They all helped make this a holiday season these children and their families will never forget. https://t.co/LheeEry0dP — PolitiTweet.org

Hundreds of school kids attended and got to do the same with other volunteers, thanks to Forman Mills and an anonymous special benefactor who's worked nearly 20 years sponsoring the coat giveaway with the help of Hot 107.5. https://t.co/VNBUY4BDoJ — PolitiTweet.org

The generosity of Detroiters never ceases to inspire me. Saturday I had the privilege of being a personal shopper and helping 4-year-old Paris pick out a brand new winter coat at Bel Air Luxury Cinema. https://t.co/WraZT6PClu — PolitiTweet.org

Corktown Apothecary is the newest addition. Ali took his talents as a pharmacist and decided to follow his dream of owning his own small business. It was great to see the whole family come out to celebrate his success. https://t.co/ApEsjVWisi — PolitiTweet.org

We've seen new mixed-income housing, lots of small businesses, plus the new Police Athletic League field and headquarters. The resurgence has spread with new developments throughout Corktown and North Corktown. https://t.co/V1FjVp6B7N — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to Ali and Tamara Khocheiche on the opening of their Corktown Apothecary. When Tiger Stadium left Corktown, it left a terrible void in the neighborhood, but over the past decade, that void has been gradually filled and it's been amazing to see what's happened. https://t.co/MRmrmt9ng9 — PolitiTweet.org

Now those who rely on the service will see no interruptions and should still call 313-208-7363 when a ride is needed. To ensure better customer service and quality assurance - calls will now be answered by a newly trained team of DDOT employees who were hired for this purpose. https://t.co/Ql0rLzX203 — PolitiTweet.org

Without it, paratransit service would’ve seen a 70% cut starting Jan 1. That means out of the 1,000 riders who use it every day, only about 300 would’ve had access. And would violate the American with Disabilities Act - and lead to federal consequences. — PolitiTweet.org

Construction of the Rev. Dr. Jim Holley Residences in the Piety Hill neighborhood at Woodward and Clarimount has been underway since January and is really starting to take shape.

Here at the Savannah-Wilshire in the Hubbard-Richard neighborhood, housing teams from the City and State worked with Southwest Solutions, and as a result, 40 units in two buildings will remain affordable for the next 50 years. https://t.co/go0qh5Nj4F — PolitiTweet.org

This is the kind of apartment building that in many other cities would've seen the rents soar and longtime residents pushed out. But in Detroit we're fighting that trend, building by building. https://t.co/tLDdyzX4Hv — PolitiTweet.org
