The new peace and harmony between County Executive Mark Hackel and the county Board of Commissioners was on full display at Jim Jacobs’ 29th annual economic forecast on Wednesday.
Macomb’s new 27-year-old board chair, Dave Flynn, was sitting next to Deputy Executive Mark Deldin at the luncheon. Hackel graciously introduced Flynn from the stage and poked a little fun.
He said Macomb Community College was having a little difficulty determining the first time Jacobs delivered his forecast because it seems like forever.
“They had to figure out if it was B.C. or A.D.,” he told the crowd. “But they definitely determined that it was B.D. – Before Dave (Flynn).”
Jacobs, the MCC president, also got a shot in, joking about Hackel’s high-profile press conference last week where he used cats and dogs as props to push for more pet adoptions. Jacobs’ used his powerpoint presentation to flash on the screen Hackel’s newest promo – a “Make Macomb Your Home” logo that features drawings of cats and dogs.
“There’s apparently no truth to the rumor that Hackel will change his slogan to ‘No Animal Left Behind,’” Jacobs deadpanned.
