Wyandotte, Dearborn, Dearborn Heights, Romulus and Brownstown are taking part in a zoo millage litigation.
Trenton officials will not take part in a zoo millage litigation, which includes a lawsuit supported by nearby community Wyandotte. Trenton City Adminstrator Jim Wagner said the City of Trenton does not capture the millages for the Detroit Zoo or the Detroit Institute of Arts. "It's an insignificant amount," Wagner said. "So, we decided not to capture it." Wagner said he was unsure when the decision to not capture the millage was made, but that it was made before he was hired as city administrator in January 2012. In Wyandotte, council memebers voted in December 2012 to approve a retainer fee agreement regarding the zoo millage litigation. City Administrator Todd Drysdale explained to Wyandotte council members in December 2012 that the …

Memorial services for the late Detroit Red Wings announcer, 95, are Friday and Saturday.
A neighbor of the late Budd Lynch, Tonia Rosalee Deliz, remembers him as a wonderful, funny man who called her Liz. Lynch, a longtime announcer for the Detroit Red Wings, passed away at age 95 on Tuesday. His funeral service is open to the public, and memorial contributions can be made to support children through The Guidance Center in Southgate. Lynch’s funeral service is likely to be very well-attended, Deliz said, because so many people knew and liked him. “He was so friendly and down to earth,” she said. “He was very independent.” Despite the loss of his arm (during World War II shortly after the D-Day Invasion at Normandy), Lynch would golf and drive in winter snowstorms, Deliz said. And he would never let her help him take out his …

Community members knew Lynch as a friendly gentleman who helped many charitable causes including The Guidance Center, which has set up an endowment fund in his honor.
With the passing of longtime Detroit Red Wings announcer Budd Lynch, 95, of Wyandotte, many in the community remember him as a great man who was never too busy to say hello or help a charitable cause. Mayor Joseph Peterson said he knew Lynch for more than 35 years. They met when Lynch was a customer at a Mobil gas station at Northline and Biddle, where Peterson worked when he came home from the Vietnam War.

And Peterson knew Lynch from when he coached hockey for 27 years, Peterson said. Lynch’s late wife, Thelma, worked for municipal services. “Budd was a top-notch guy,” Peterson …
