Saginaw System of CareSaginaw County Community Mental Health Authority (SCCMHA) recently sponsored
activities in recognition of National Wellness Week, September 19-25, 2011. The Substance
Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) promoted a wellness campaign.
This concept is based upon the fact that persons with serious mental illness as a population group
statistically die 25 years earlier than the overall population. A SAMHSA goal is to reduce this
death rate by one year each year, in other words, in the next decade; persons with serious mental
illness will have gained a 10 year longer life span.
Saginaw County Community Mental Health Authority is committed to this goal as well, now providing service to children with serious mental illness through a grant funded by SAMSHA.
Saginaw System of Care is designed to provide comprehensive community mental health
services for children and their families. This is the largest national children’s mental health
service initiative providing over $1.6 billion since its inception in 1993. Since that time, 173
grants and cooperative agreements have been funded with 100 having completed the 6 year cycle
of the grant and 59 currently funded.

DowGIVESProgramandLocalVolunteers
ComeTogetherToUpgradeLittleLeague
BaseballFields
Midland – Over 100 volunteers from across the Great Lakes Bay Region has recently
started to work on a project to improve baseball fields used by the Fraternal Northwest Little
League (FNWLL) organization.
A handicap-accessible sidewalk will be constructed at the FNWLL complex to connect the
parking lot with the pavilion, concession stand, and FNWLL’s three baseball diamonds. The
baseball fields will undergo modifications to improve rainwater drainage. Volunteers will
also repair dugouts. “This project will have a lasting impact on the 400 kids who participate
in our leagues,” FNWLL President Steve Shinske said, “We are humbled by this outpouring
of support from the people of our community.”
Funding for the project was obtained after an employee of The Dow Chemical Company
submitted a proposal to the DowGIVESprogram , which provides grants to empower Dow
employees who wish to organize a large-scale project that will address social, economic, or
environmental needs in the Great Lakes Bay Region.
“Fraternal Northwest Little League gives hundreds of local children a positive outlet to be
physically active, learn about teamwork, and have fun,” said Rich Wells, Vice President and
Site Director for Dow Michigan Operations, “Dow is very proud to support our employees in
their efforts to improve quality of life in our community.”The FNWLL Complex is located at 6801 N. Sturgeon Ave. in Midland. FNWLL provides
a fun and challenging baseball experience for kids’ age 4 to 12. Programs include Tee Ball,
Coach Pitch, AA, AAA and Majors levels. Founded in the late 1940’s, FNWLL was one of
the first sanctioned little leagues in the state. More information about FNWLL may be found
on the organization’s website at http://www.eteamz.com/midlandnwll/.
At Dow, we believe that connecting chemistry and innovation can generate new ways to
solve challenges and exceed customer expectations. We believe that taking the extra step to
be socially responsible does not hold us back, but instead sets us apart. We believe in the
worth of our people, in the value of each individual employee and their differing experiences,
backgrounds and perspectives. We believe in the power of difference. Every day, we strive to
build a culture that embraces innovation, responsibility and diversity.

Editorials SaginawPromiseZone
By Pastor Charles H. Coleman, D.C.E.
For The Michigan Banner
Did you know that
the Saginaw Public
School system has
been awarded Promise
Zone designation by
the State of Michigan?
Some of us are asking
what this means.
Others of us are saying
so what. For those of us who are concerned
about the revitalization of our community,
this is one of the most important things
that could have happened for and to our
community.
The Saginaw Promise Zone insures that
every student who lives in the Promise
community and attends and graduates fromone of the target schools will be assured
that the first two years of college are paid
for. Once a student is accepted in a college
in the State of Michigan, and completes
the financial aid process, and gets as
much financial aid as possible, the Promise
Zone will step in and insure that the funds
necessary to pay for the first two years of
college will be there. If a student wants to
attend college or trade school, the Promise
Zone will insure that two years are available.
What does this mean for us as we rebuild
our community? Community rebuilding
includes attracting people to live, work and
educate their children in the City of Saginaw.
The Promise Zone initiative, along with the
efforts of the Board of Education and Supt.
Jenkins to improve the quality of education
in City Schools, will attract families to the
public school system. As we return the City
of Saginaw School System to the high quality
that it held, more students will be drawn to the
schools. In order to qualify for the scholarships,
the students must not only attend the schools,
but must live within the designated geographic
areas outlined. Drawing people to live in the
community insures that we’re rebuilding.We need to help the schools with this
initiative. Part of the effort is to raise the
funds for the scholarships. We, as parents
and citizens, cannot ask corporations and
businesses to contribute if some of us do not
contribute. Community based organizations,
churches, fraternities, sororities, and fraternal
organizations can contribute to this fund raising
effort. All of our contributions do not have to
be in the thousands or millions, although they
will be accepted. Some of us can pledge
a hundred dollars a year to the effort, and
challenge others to match us. Some of us can
give a onetime gift and let our friends and
associates know that we are supporting the
efforts. Anything that we do to support the
program will help us attract other donors.
Rebuilding a quality school system is only
part of our efforts to rebuild our community.
We need to do more than just raise money for
the Promise Zone initiative. Dr. Jenkins and
our school leaders are in need of volunteers
to assist in insuring that our schools are
safe and under control. We cannot ask our
teachers to teach and be security. With the
reduction in funds, volunteers have to pick
up more to assist with the schools. Beforeyou decide to go in and take over a school,
though, check with Dr. Jenkins and the Board
to find out where they can best use your skills
and expertise. Remember, it takes a village
to raise a child, and some of us who have
been sitting on the sideline have to do more
to become part of the village.
InTheseStreets Poem
By Aniya Washington
In these streets I see killing, stealing, raping,
hating, fighting, dying, crying, and drug dealing.
In these streets I see the mothers giving up
because times are getting rough. The boys out
here are trying to be tough so what I’m trying tosay is enough is enough. In these streets, I see
the world filling up with crime. People need to
realize they are wasting their time. Is it because
the daddy’s are giving up on us children?

Back when I was a reporter for The
Saginaw News, we had a policy of correcting
all errors. Even when we had been correct, we
allowed the aggrieved party a clarification.
Sometimes readers would observe several
items in the box entitled “corrections/
clarifications” and would ask, “Why do youfolks make so many mistakes?” Our answer
always was, “We acknowledge and correct
our errors. You’ll never see the TV news do
that.”
I realize I’m an old scolder who is biased in
favor of old-fashioned print. That being said,
the “error-free” electronic media is worse
than ever with the arrival of the internet.
Stories (and errors) may seem to get old,
but they really don’t. They are permanently
embedded in cyberspace. Here’s an example:
The “$16 muffin scandal” happened back
in September, but you can bet cynics will
falsely keep it alive for months to come. You
can also bet that Bill O’Reilly on Fox News
will remain silent on correcting his error. He
bragged that he “broke” the story of a Justice
Department conference breakfast for which
the agency allegedly paid $16 per muffin,and in the process he took his usual snipes
at President Obama for being a socialist big
LiesGoUncorrectedintheMassTVMediaBy Mike Thompson
For The Michigan Banner
wasteful spender.
Outrage naturally followed. Sixteen bucks
for a mere muffin? Even if the blueberries
abounded, that’s ridiculous. In addition to
asking why in the world the government would
pay $16 a piece for muffins, some probing
folks wanted to know what kind of facilitywould charge such an exorbitant price. Quickly
it was unveiled that the Capital Hilton in D.C.
was the conference location, and of course the
Hilton Worldwide folks didn’t want that sort of
publicity.
Here’s what ABC News and the St.
Petersburg Times’ highly read PolitiFact team
learned: The price wasn’t $16, but $16.80
($14 plus 20 percent gratuity and service fee).
However -- and this is a huge however -- this
was a continental breakfast that also included
fresh fruits, juice, soda and coffee. Hilton
Worldwide managers, in a quest to simplify
their billing system, listed “assorted muffins”
without providing further details. Pundits such
as O’Reilly, along with an inspector general,
pounced upon the line item without asking
further questions.
An observer may rightfully say that $16.80for a continental breakfast is still a taxpayer rip
off, and that the fault for the misunderstanding
rests not with O’Reilly and his peers, but
with the Hilton’s method of providing
receipts. Still, the first thing a professional
journalist learns is to ask questions, to
double check everything, and above all, to
maintain credibility by correcting errors so
that they do not linger long after the storyis considered old news. That’s what ABC
News and PolitiFact did. We don’t need
sensationalism to realize that there are
problems with government waste, often far
larger, that we need to address and to rectify.
For example, what’s the price of a muffin
compared to a Wall Street mortgage bundling
fraud? Are there bran muffin hedge funds?
If you are a computer user, I highly
recommend that you Google and visit
PolitiFact.
Maybe I need to get a life, and to stop
channel flipping to Billow Reilly on Fox
News during commercial breaks while I’m
watching a ballgame or a movie during the
evening. But this quack, along with the ultra-
bigoted Sean Hannity, has a lot of viewers
and a great deal of anti-Obama bias and
influence. We need to know the enemy.
InTheseStreetscontinued from page 6
Because trust me I know that is a terrible feeling. People are
losing love one’s every day, filling our hearts and minds up
with hate. Every night I pray that God will make everything
okay. Lord please promise me another blessed day.

‘Better Choices, Better Medicine, Better Healing’
DearDoctorNash:
My teenager was at
the mall last week and
saw a vendor that did
bleaching right in the
corridor of the mall.
My child is all excited
and wants to go back
to the mall and have
their teeth whitened at
the mall. I am having second thoughts about
this procedure and its safety if it is not done
by a licensed dental professional. What
should I do?
Dearreader:
The number of teenagers that are
requesting teeth whitening has dramatically
increased over the last few years. I am glad
that you are a concerned parent and questionsomeone not in the dental field providing
such a service at the mall. The non-dental
whitening companies are really targeting the
teenagers that are looking for a quick way
to have their teeth whitened so they can
immediately increase self esteem but there
may be a harmful cost to the teen.
Teeth whitening should not be done on
teeth until the pulps are fully developed
which is about the age of 14. A licenseddental professional should do an examination
of the teeth to make sure there is not any
dental disease present and if any cavities
are present that they have been taken care of
before bleaching is started. In some cases a
teenager may have active decay that involves
the exposed nerves the mall staff is not trained
to recognize this and will bleach teeth that may
cause severe damage later.
When bleaching is done properly a custom
fitted tray is made
by the dentist.
Only a dentist
can assure the
trays are fitting
properly and that
the bleaching
material is being
used properly.
There are
companies from
which you can
order trays on theInternet but the
trays may fit very
sloppy and could
cause harm to the
surrounding oral
tissue.
My advice
is to have your
teenager slow
down a little bit. Have a
thorough dental
examination by a
licensed dentist.
Make sure all decay has been addressed.
Then proceed with the whitening procedure
under the supervision of a licensed dentist.....
then you and your teenager will know that
the bleaching has been done correctly and
safely.

St. Mary’s of Michigan and Michigan
CardioVascular Institute (MCVI) announce
a new working affiliation that aligns and
strengthens cardiac services, enhances
clinical and diagnostic programs and
improves continuity of care for patients.
Given the strong history and mutual
relationship shared between St. Mary’s
of Michigan and MCVI over the past
two decades, this alignment is a natural
progression between the organizations.Clinical integration is a growing trend in
health care given the direction of national
health care reform.
“St. Mary’s of Michigan and MCVI
share a strong history as well as a similar
vision, values and commitment to providing
quality healthcare and patient experience,”
states John Graham, President & CEO
of St. Mary’s.“St. Mary’s of Michigan is
a regional leader in cardiovascular care,
having established the region’s first cardiac
care program and open heart surgery program
nearly 30 years ago. Aligning and being able to
work more closely with MCVI, will allow both
entities to enhance services and programs with
a focus on a patient-centered experience that
is individualized for each person,” Graham
explains.
MCVI is one of the largest cardiovascular
service providers north of Detroit with
physicians specializing in cardiology,electrophysiology and cardiothoracic
surgery.“MCVI as a physician practice will
remain,” says Patrick A. Tagget, CEO for
MCVI. “All physicians, midlevel providers
(physician assistants and nurse practitioners),
cardiac research staff and the foundation staff
will remain employees of MCVI.”
Currently, MCVI has over 24 physician
and midlevel providers specializing in
interventional, invasive, non-invasive,electrophysiology,
cardiac and thoracic
surgery. They
will continue to
serve 17 hospitals
across the region
and provide care at
11 outlying clinic
l o c a t i o n s . “ W h a t
will change is that
clinical, diagnostic
and business
operations staff will
transition and become
employees of St. Mary’s of Michigan
effective Oct. 1, 2011,” explains Tagget.
Clinical and diagnostic services will
continue to be available at MCVI, 1015 S.

W a s h i n g t o n ,
D.C.—Congressman
Dale E. Kildee’swife Gayle Kildee
has recently been
diagnosed with early
stage breast cancer. Thankfully, due to
routine mammograms her cancer has been
caught early. She is scheduled to undergo a
partial mastectomy on Friday, October 14,
followed by three weeks of radiation therapy
at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington,
D.C.
The Kildees are hopeful that her experiencewill inspire other women to remain vigilant
about their health and take advantage of
important preventative health services like
mammograms. Early detection is one of the
most important tools we have in the fight
against breast cancer.
Kildee and his wife are thankful for the
thoughts and prayers of their friends and
supporters and ask for privacy during this
difficult time. The Kildees have been married
since 1965, and have three adult children andten grandchildren.
Congressman Kildee, recently honored
by the Saginaw NAACP, has served as
a congressman for 35 years. In July he
announced he would not run for re-election
for a 19th term.
CongressmanKildee’sWifeDiagnosedwithBreastCancer
Breast cancer occurs primarily in women,
but men can also develop breast cancer. “The
doctor told me, “You have breast cancer,”
recalls Roundtree, who played John Shaft in
the 1971 film “Shaft.” I heard the cancer part
first—itwasonlylaterthatIheardthebreast
part. I couldn’t believe it.” Although men
have less breast tissue than women, they dohave breast cells that can undergo cancerous
changes. Male breast cancer makes up less
than 1 percent of all cases of breast cancer,
and is usually detected in men between 60
and 70 years of age. Richard Roundtree was
diagnosed with cancer in 1993, while filming
a movie in Costa Rica when he found the
lump and decided to check it out. The early
detection and action saved his life.
SymptomsIt is important to see a doctor if any of the
following changes to the breasts is noticed:
• Alumporswellinginthechestarea
• Dimpledorpuckeredskin
• Anipplethatisinverted(facinginward)
• Redness or scaling of the nipple or
breast skin
• Dischargefromthenipple
Most breast lumps in men are due to
gynecomastia and not cancer. Gynecomastia,
the most common male breast disorder, is an
increase in the amount of a man’s breast tissue.However, it is still important to see a medical
professional about any of the symptoms,
including a lump, to rule out male breast cancer.
Important differences between male and
female breast cancer can result in male breast
cancer being diagnosed at a later stage, which
affects prognosis and treatment. One difference
is breast size. Men have little breast tissue,
which does make it easier to feel small masses.
For the same reason, though, cancers do notgrow far before reaching the skin covering
the breast or the muscles underneath. The
result is that while male breast cancers tend
to be smaller than female breast cancers when
they are found, they have more often spread
beyond the breast.
Another key difference is that breast
cancer is rare among men. Most women are
aware of breast cancer and have a female
friend or family member affected by breast
cancer. Men often do not even know it is
possible for them to get breast cancer, andtherefore may ignore the symptoms.
Treatment
Since the types of breast cancer, staging,
and patterns of how the disease spreads are
similar in both men and women, treatments
are also similar.
A mastectomy, a surgical procedure to
remove the breast with the cancerous tumor,
is generally the treatment of choice for male
breast cancer. Chemotherapy, radiation andhormone therapies are also used following
surgery.

Saginaw Valley
State University will
welcome MichiganState University
College of Human
Medicine professor
of medicine George
Abela, M.D., as the
first presenter in a new
health lecture series
Wednesday, Oct. 19. Abela’s talk, “How
Heart Attacks and Strokes Occur,” will take
place at 7 p.m. in the Alan Ott Auditorium in
SVSU’s Regional Education Center.
It is well known that high cholesterol can
put you at higher risk for heart disease, but
new research has finally uncovered the secret
of how cholesterol behaves in the bloodstream
and why it can cause heart attacks and strokes.
These breakthrough findings from a team led by Abela, chief of the cardiology division in
MSU’s College of Human Medicine, could
dramatically change the way doctors treat
heart disease. Abela’s talk will discuss how
heart attacks and strokes occur, and how this
discovery impacts the public.
Abela earned his medical degree from the
American University of Beirut in Lebanon.
He completed a medicine and pathology
residence at Emory University in Atlanta
and a cardiology fellowship at the University
of Florida. He is board certified in internal
medicine and cardiovascular disease. Abela’s
research interests include thrombosis/plague
rupture, platelet aggregation, vascular injury
and diabetes.
Abela’s lecture is the first in a new series jointly sponsored by the MSU College of
Human Medicine, MidMichigan Health
and SVSU. MSU and MidMichigan have
partnered to establish a regional medical
campus in Midland. In September 2010,
SVSU and MSU formalized an agreement
that assures early acceptance for two or three
qualified SVSU undergraduates into the
College of Human Medicine each year.
Admission to the talk is free of charge; this
event is open to the public, but registration is
required. To register, call the MidMichigan
Health Line toll-free at (800) 999-3199.

7 Keys for unleashing your personal
power
“BelieveinYourself”
ChapterOne
The great Muhammad Ali was a master
at building himself up. Before a fight, he
would announce to the world: The bear will
fall in five!” He proclaimed it, over and
over. And sure enough, the bear would fall
exactly as Ali had convinced him he would.
You have the potential to be more than
you can ever imagine, because your present
is not governed by your past. Whatever is
oldisjustthat—yesterday’swaste.Believein
yourself!Learnwhoyouare—yourgreatness,your Winning Spirit, lies within, waiting to be
released.
Growing a “Winning Spirit” begins with
right thinking, which leads to right believing
and then to right results. Wrong thinking and
lack of confidence leads to stress, anxiety,
worry, jealousy, comparing and gossiping.
You are more than enough, and you can win
inallcircumstances—regardless and in spite
of the obstacles. Allow your mind to think and know this every day. Allow your mind to
release what no longer serves you; accept the
potential within you, and allow it to manifest.
5stepstoaWinningBeliefSystem
Examine your thoughts, and shed those that
are negative.
Get your mouth in line with the changes
you desire in your life. Your words decide
your future. Begin to talk positively, using the
present tense:
“I am healthy. I am happily married.
I am successful.”
Think like a winner on every level-
“I am a winning secretary, a winning
mother, a winning husband.
Be willing to make minor adjustments toalign yourself to a Winning Spirit.
Use what you have—the power to be
great is within you. Allow yourself to accept
the gift of yourself.

I can do all things through Christ who
strengthens me.

SomeTricksCanbeHorrifyingtoYourRecord
By Cynthia W. EdwardsSocial Security
Public Affairs Specialist
Flint - You’ll probably be passing out treats
to costumed hobgoblins and ghosts in your
neighborhood this Halloween night. But be
cautious that you’re not tricked by a different
kind of trickster looking for a handout, such asyour personal information. You should always
safeguard your personal information such as
date of birth, mother’s maiden name, and your
Social Security number. Why? Because it’s that
type of information identity thieves are after.
You may think you’re safe simply by not carrying your Social
Security card with you and not providing your personal information
over the Internet or by e-mail. But scam artists have become tricky.
Never reply to an e-mail claiming to be from Social Security and
asking for your Social Security number or personal information.Identity theft is one of the fastest-growing crimes in America. If you
think you’ve been the victim of an identity thief, you should contact
the Federal Trade Commission at www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/idtheft.

Another trick: misleading advertisers
victimize some people who receive Social
Security and Supplemental Security Income
(SSI) benefits. Often, these companies offer
Social Security services for a fee, even though
the same services are available directly from
Social Security free of charge. These services
include getting a:
• Corrected Social Security cardshowing a bride’s married name;
• SocialSecurity card to replacealostcard; and
• SocialSecuritynumberforachild.
If you receive or see what you believe is
misleading advertising for Social Security
services, send the complete mailing, including
the envelope, to: Office of the Inspector
General, Fraud Hotline, Social Security
Administration, P.O. Box 17768, Baltimore,
MD 21235. If you see misleading advertising
online, you can report this information onlineat www.socialsecurity.gov/oig/guidelin.htm.
Also, advise your State’s attorney generalor consumer affairs office and the Better
Business Bureau. Learn more about identity
theft at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10064.

www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10005.html.
Enjoy the treats of the season, but be
cautious of tricksters trying to steal more
than a sack of candy. The results of becoming
the victim of identity theft can be horrifying.
Protect your identifying information.

Entertainment
ReflectionsBy Steve Holsey
Ingoodhands
It is interesting that there are times when
an entertainer has done a commercial for so
long that there are those who know them
more for the commercial than for their body
of work, no matter how extensive.
One current example is the very talented
Dennis Haysbert. You can hardly think of Allstate Insurance Company without
envisioning Haysbert and hearing his voice.
He has been the Allstate spokesperson
since 2003. How many times have you
heard Haysbert ask, “Are you in good
hands?” Despite his many TV and movies
roles starting in 1979—I first noticedhim
in“Waiting toExhale”in 1995—thereare
those who only know Dennis Haysbert as
“the Allstate guy.”Which brings to mind the great Ella
Fitzgerald. For years she did television
commercials for Memorex and was so
closely identified with the product that kids,
unaware of her long and glorious history,
would approach her in public places and say,
“Aren’t you the Memorex lady?” Fitzgerald
got a kick out of it, and at least there was a
recognition factor.
LaurynHill is one of those people who
just can’t seem to stay out of trouble, and
the vast majority of the time it is trouble of
her own doing. Her biggest album was titled
“The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.” The latest
incident involves the singer/actress/musician
being sued by a fashion consultant/stylist,
via Davia Vintage (now there’s a pretentious
name!), for breach of contract. Hill is accused
of not paying for all of the expensive clothesthat were provided for her by Vintage for a
2007 concert tour. It was assumed that she was
either going to return the clothes in a timely
manner or keep them and pay for them.
Ne-Yo raised more than a few eyebrows
when it was revealed that when he is on the
road he stipulates in his contract that there
must be vodka in his dressing room (he has a
brand preference). But it’s not for drinking,
it’s for cleaning!A strange request
and we wonder what
specifically he is
cleaning, but if you
do a little research
you will discover that
vodka can indeed
be used for cleaning
and a number of
other things. To
see for yourself, log
onto Google and enter “additional uses for
vodka.” You’ll be surprised.
Singer, rapper, producer, actor Cee Lo
Green, who is also a coach on the TV show
“The Voice,” has been added to the cast of the
remake of “Sparkle.” The film will feature
some new music by R. Kelly. Cee Lo’s real
name, by the way, is Thomas Callaway.The Michigan Chronicle

Edd Roberson, Jr. passed away Sunday, October 2, 2011 at his residence, age 59 years. He was born December 24,

Edd was a member of New Mt. Calvary Baptist Church, and attended Saginaw Public Schools where he was anexceptional basketball player. He graduated from Saginaw High School with the class of 1970, and also attended
Northwood University. He retired from the Neighborhood House after 35 years of service. A pillar in the South Side

ProposedAT&T,T-MobileMergeraWinfor
MichiganMinorities
The wireless communications industry has been a true game changer for our society. It
impacts how we stay in touch, how we learn new information and how we live our lives.
Thanks to high-speed wireless broadband, a mobile device can do just about anything a
desktop computer can. The industry is innovating quickly but there are still those people
in disadvantaged communities across Michigan and across the nation who are not part of
the digital revolution. That could change dramatically once a proposed merger between
telecommunications companies AT&T and T-Mobile finally gets the seal of approval from
the federal government.
The proposed merger stands to provide the affordable, expanded access residents across
our country, in areas similar to Michigan, need, promising to bring AT&T’s 4G LTE,
the fastest wireless broadband technology available, to more than 97 percent of the U.S. population. According to a study published by the Pew Internet and the American Life
Project, African Americans and Latinos rely on their mobile devices for internet access more heavily than other
ethnic groups, meaning the benefits of the merger and an expanded network from a provider such as AT&T will
impact the traditionally underserved minority communities more than most.
“The combination of AT&T and T-Mobile USAwill be a win for Michigan wireless consumers,” said Jim
Murray, President of AT&T Michigan. “It will provide improved service quality, expanded 4G LTE deployment
and the next generation in mobile broadband.” “Because of the added scale, spectrum and resources that will
come from the deal, AT&T can commit to extending its 4G LTE build in urban and rural communities throughout
our state.” AT&T and T-Mobile USAcustomers will see service improvements - including improved voice
quality. This transaction will increase spectrum efficiency to increase capacity and output, which can help to
improve service.
“This transaction expands network capacity available to customers, which will not only improve service
but also ensure continued competitive pricing and innovation in a market where demand is extremely high and
growing rapidly,” Murray continued.
In addition, AT&T recently committed that after the closing of its proposed merger with T-Mobile, it will
bring back 5,000 wireless call center jobs to the United States that today are outsourced to other countries. This
is the single largest commitment by an American company to bring jobs back to the U.S. since the economic
crisis began in 2008. AT&T has also pledged that the merger will not result in job losses for any of AT&T’s
or T-Mobile’s U.S. wireless call center employees who are on the payroll of either company at the time the
merger closes. “Expanded wireless coverage and increased speeds are critical for companies as they add to their
workforce to better compete and do business,” Murray said. “Michigan’s communications infrastructure is an
important building block as so many in our state and local communities work to turn our economy around. At
AT&T, we are committed to helping Michigan’s economic recovery.”
