C.S. Mott Foundation CEO Understands the Plight of Michigan’s Cities

C.S. Mott Foundation CEO and President Ridgway White speaks on municipal finance issues at the 2019 Mackinac Policy Conference.

The C.S. Mott Foundation gets it.

There was a really nice Q&A article in Crain’s Detroit Business recently with Charles Stewart Mott Foundation President and CEO Ridgway White related to the financial plight of Michigan cities.

The article by Chad Livengood focused on the City of Flint, where the Mott Foundation is based, but the conversation expanded to the struggles of all Michigan cities. Ridgway White and his Foundation have been a strong supporter of the work being done through our SaveMICity.org initiative and this Jan. 26, 2020, article is further proof.

It is extremely encouraging to see such a prominent person and organization as Ridway and the Mott Foundation to raise the same concerns the SaveMICity effort covers.

Here is a key excerpt from the article that is directly in line with our SaveMICity messaging:

Question from Crain’s Detroit Business: Why is the C.S. Mott Foundation focused on improving municipal governance and the way cities are financed in Michigan?

We stand on the same soapbox. Thank you Ridgway for explaining it so well!
