Why would anyone listen to her? Hasn't she said enough? I do not want her representing this wonderful, diverse city. She is not professional- she is a national embarressment.

Fascinating - she pulled this talk ahead several months to make it an infomercial for herself; but then again, when she speaks she always gives us more reasons
to remove her.

This is just a political ploy on her part. It will be interesting to see how she skews the information.

She has nothing worth saying except "I hereby resign as Mayor of Troy."

I certainly hope she has the Troy Fire Dept. on hand, because as soon as she opens her mouth ".....pants on fire!"

Don't you people have anything better to do than to continue to leave negative comments about the Mayor even though this article is just making an announcement of an event and has not saying anything else! Get a life!

She scheduled this time because her son a marine will be home and she wants to exploit him during the speech. Ick

This is typical liberal democrat playbook material! What are you going to do when she's not recalled?

Okay, I give up, put another liberal in and the city will be bankrupt in 5 years as the previous City Manager Szerlag stated before he left. By the way, what does mentioning the liberal democrat playbook have to do with "name calling"? Who's calling anyone a name?

Daffy Noodnicks --- how do you know what the party affiliations of those that signed the recall petition were? They don't indicate their party affiliation when they sign the petition.

Anonymous, I gathered signatures and several people who hurriedly signed the petition had voted for her. They felt cheated that she had represented herself during the election and they want her OUT. I also talked to someone who almost voted for her because he knew she was the "conservative" in the election, then when he saw her performance at the debate last fall he realized she didn't know anything about managing the city and came off as "a little crazy," so he voted for Robin Beltramini.
If people had just watched that debate last year, she would never have been elected. This whole situation should be a lesson to us all -- don't vote for someone unless you've done your homework.

Oops-- "that she had MISrepresented"

Isn't there a law against city funds being used to influence an election? Isn't this change in the timing of the State of the City event being used as a venue for Janice to defend herself from recall? Does anyone else see the problem here?

I gathered petition signatures with grace and dignity knowing the facts surrounding the Mayor. To be clear, I received FIVE "YES RECALL" signatures for every "no thank you". The Troy voters are waiting for November 6th to put closer to Mayor Daniels political career. Did you witness the Mayor's opening ceremony speech at Troy Daze? She was in a fog and failed to introduce her favorite Oakland County Commissioner.....yikes!! A sad public display and embarrassment......again.

Mr. Henderson, with all due respect and clarity, my comment is in reference to the Mayor and not about Bob. In my opinion, the Mayor performed poorly, turning her back to the audience as she tried to get direction from others on stage. Perhaps we can replay the tape? There is a new Gosselin in Troy...no relation to Mr. Gosselin. I take pride in my reputation for honesty, integrity, fair and balanced. I believe in Karma...If it was Roop Raj that failed to present Commissioner Gosselin during Troy Daze opening ceremony perhaps that indicates what fate has planned for November 6th.

Bob Gosselin signs in Rochester Hills. Is that due to district map changes? That guy is gross.

All voters who want to know what Bob Gosselin is all about should visit this site: http://www.keeptroystrong.com/2011/07/tcu-leader-bob-gosselins-arrest-record.html

QUESTION: Based upon past experience, it's certainly quite probable that Janice Daniels will attempt to make the 'State of the City' address all about herself as she fights for her political career. My question is, is there any safeguards built into the by-laws that prevent Daniels from turning this into a 'Stop the Recall - Janice Daniels' infomercial? Who will intercede if Daniels is stupid enough to take the address into that direction?

I am concerned that if this turns into a campaign event, could it be a violation of campaign finance laws? Could that represent a potential legal liability to taxpayers?
