Mayor meets film
crew! The week started with Flint Mayor Dayne Walling presenting the Key To
The City to Former U.S. Senator Fred Thompson and Screenwriter/Producer Fredrick
Foote. Foote and Thompson are a part of an all-star ensemble filming the movie
“Alleged” in Genesee County. Filming began September 14, 2009 at the Historic

gracious recipients and told the crowd that gathered what a wonderful time they
