ATLANTA (CCN) — A former Flint Board of Education President has ended her silence.
From her new home in Atlanta, Georgia — Dr. Danielle Green issued a statement on social media Sunday to blast what she called "corrupt" local politicians.
"Flint is my home," Dr. Green said. "It sickens me what the corrupt politicians have done to this city."
Morning Gazette Radio Show host Mike Killbreath delivered the first local media report about her statement on his Monday (Feb. 16, 2026) morning program. He also revealed that the former school board leader will sit down this week to be a guest on his show.
He told his listeners: "She promises to tell all."
Dr. Green left Flint for Atlanta after the Detroit Free Press and other media reported that she accepted a plea bargain deal after reportedly slamming a fellow school board member's head against a table. The story made news headlines around the globe, even becoming a topic of conversation on ABC TV's popular morning show, The View.
Dr. Green has never talked to any reporters about the situation and Killbreath told CCN, "All ofyou at our Daily Gazette will need to tune in to my radio show for this one. No advance tips about what she plans to reveal. She said this entire episode has been hard for her and that being around her grandchildren in Atlanta helped her cope with how she says this entire incident ruined her life. She admits being near suicide at times."
This was Green's statement on Facebook:
"All I could do was shake my head. Trustee Rutherford is clearly standing alone — and I know what that feels like because I’ve been there.
"The Board President is abusing her position she continues to conduct herself as a dictator for personal gain. She doesn’t even pretend to be a personal of good moral standing. Publicly calling people “retarded,” bragging about being a so-called “six-figure woman,” all while claiming to serve a community facing serious challenges — it’s disgraceful. Just look at the facts: declining test scores, falling enrollment, severe budget restraints, hundreds of thousands of ESSER and Title funds sent back to the federal government, school closures, staffing deficiencies, and lawsuits stemming from bullying and harassment by board members. This is what happens when you build a team of cowards whose only mission is to silence those unwilling to tolerate corruption.
"Nobody in this community cares about her alleged six-figure salary — except perhaps the co-conspirators who benefit from the deception and alleged kickbacks. Let’s talk about the pattern: A daycare shut down for serious health and safety violations. A position in FCS supposedly teaching children to read, despite evident literacy struggles displayed during board meetings. A PhD from an institution with an address listed as an empty lot.
"Fundraising for the deaths of board members’ family members with questions about where the money went. And now, collective alignment with individuals whose only apparent goal is relevance at any cost. As for the investigation she suggested — it’s laughable.
"As a professional con artist liar and manipulator she knows exactly what she's doing..... do not be fooled. She will either get her buddies and herself to vote down the investigation or manipulate the results as she has done in the past. The community doesn't need anymore apologies from elected officials who continue to come in to rob, kill, steal and destroy. Resign and turn yourself in. My prayer is and will always be that God steps in and eliminates the racist bigot, cowards and coons for the greater good of education, the children and community. "

A new radio station launched on "World Radio Day" as the Metro Flint regional area's second 24/7 internet radio station.
Crusader Communications Network Inc ("CCN"), owners of The Daily Gazette, added Metro Flint Radio One to its radio station family to join Metro Flint News/Talk Radio and Metro Flint Sports Radio.
A simulcast happened on the CCN News Final at 11:50 pm Friday night (Feb. 13, 2026) on Metro Flint News/Talk Radio with the dual broadcast lasting all night until 7 am.
General Manager Mike Killbreath said "World Radio Day" was an ideal day for the launch by Crusader Communications Network Inc. ("CCN").
He said on the CCN News Final before flicking on the switch for the new 24/7 streaming signal, "Today is the perfect day for the launch of our second of what will hopefully soon be one of our four 24/7 internet radio stations. Today is 'World Radio Day' that was first announced in 2011 by UNESCO Radio which refers to the long-standing efforts of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization to use radio as a tool for fostering education, peace, and free expression. Since 1947, UNESCO has produced, distributed, and supported radio programming, focusing on community media, promoting diversity, and providing training for broadcasters worldwide. After receiving a stamp of approval two years later by the U.N. General Assembly. According to Radio.com theme of World Radio Day 2026 is 'Radio and Artificial Intelligence: AI is a tool, not a voice.' In 2026, AI puts both the radio format and radio industry at a pivotal point in its 100-plus year history. UNESCO’s attitude is that AI is best deployed in radio with care. This World Radio Day, their emphasis is the importance of a thoughtful approach to AI with clearly defined strategies for its use."
Killbreath will be interviewed more in-depth at 11:53 pm Friday on the CCN News Final presented daily on Metro Flint News/Talk Radio at 11:30 pm.
CCN management has already launched Metro Flint Sports Radio as an extra stream and most of the sports programming on the original internet radio station has already been shifted there, including high school sports broadcasts and popular programs such as Michigan Sports Zone Show, The Daily Gazette Sports Night Show and the longest-running sports talk radio show on the local air waves — The Daily Gazette Sports Weekend Show.
"We are hoping to make Metro Flint Sports Radio a full 24/7 radio station like Metro Flint News/Talk Radio and Metro Flint Radio One," KIllbreath added. "Next up, a station to be known as Michigan News/Talk Radio is launching as a partner with our statewide online daily newspaper web site known as My AM Advantage."

(PNS) — The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act is now before the U.S. Senate after narrowly passing the House in April of last year. The bill would require in-person proof of citizenship to register to vote.
Voting rights advocates called it unnecessary and discriminatory, warning it would end online and mail registration and disenfranchise millions of eligible voters.
Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., opposes the proposal and said she will push to restore the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, which requires federal review of election law changes in places with a history of discrimination.
"To protect every American's right to vote in this country and to pass the Freedom to Vote Act," Stevens emphasized. "This is going to ensure that every American can have their voice heard and their vote counted."
Supporters of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act argued the measure is needed to protect election integrity, saying requiring in-person proof of citizenship would help prevent noncitizens from registering to vote and restore public confidence in U.S. elections.
Brian Lemek, founder and executive director of the advocacy group Defend the Vote, said the requirement to present a passport or birth certificate could hit Michiganders especially hard.
"Sixty percent of Michigan residents, they don't have a passport – that's like 5 or 6 million people – and more than two million women in Michigan don't have a birth certificate that matches their married name, so they wouldn't be eligible to vote," Lemek outlined. "Across the country we're going to see tens of millions of people that don't have the documents required."
Backers of the measure contended the bill sets a clear, uniform national standard, making voter registration more transparent and easier to verify.

(PNS) — Millions of Americans with serious health conditions relied on the credits for affordable health insurance.
Victoria Sylvester, a small business owner and cancer survivor in Traverse City, is one of them.
"As somebody that really absolutely has to have health care, has to have insurance, it's very stressful to think that I may lose my insurance or have terribly high premiums," Sylvester explained. "I already had an increase in my deductible."
Those who back the cuts warned continuing expanded credits indefinitely could strain the federal budget and crowd out funding for other priorities.
