Good luck, I had to complain to my Ypsilanti township supervisor and she did stop the deliveries of such oin my area.

I also have a complaint about DTE Energy meter readers as stated below.

Why can DTE Energy meter readers trespass AT-WILL any time to get a meter reading? Is this a benefit of basically being a monopoly and doing whatever they want whenever and if you don't like it TRY to get another electric/gas provider? One's DTE bill reads for example "your scheduled meter read date is on or around Feb 23,2012." I lock my backyard gate for security purposes, but based on the above date of the 23rd (a Thursday), I leave the gate unlocked on the 22nd (W), 23rd(Th) and 24th (F) between 8AM and 5PM. They arrived on the 21st, gate locked, and took the ungaledl liberty to climb the fence when I was sitting in the living room watching TV, fifteen feet fromt he front door, and the reader didn't Knock or ring the doorbell. If they would destroy anything we ALL know they'd just leave quickly not wanting to take any responsibility.
It shouldn't be my responsibility to leave my gate unlocked for a complete week for a 20-second reading, a process that has occurred here since 1959, therefore they should easily be able to meet the three-day window I provide based on their date of the 23rd. But if they don't they just take the liberty to jump the fence without any contact. My bills have been paid at least two weeks prior to due date for many-many years on the internet. I don't desire reading my own meter having poor vision and being legally blind.

Is there some special commissions or boards that I can contact to address this issue.

32 votes. This must really be an issue with alot of people.

Instead of posting on this board take your complaints to the mayor at the monthly meeting. Demand a date and time for these to be fixed. If nothing happen remember this mayor at election time. Go to the paper. Make a stink.

I would also add pizza fliers.

It was registered at a forum to tell to you thanks for the help in this question, can, I too can help you something?

Luther, It sure is a disappointment for me. I had high hopes. I guess as a lifetime Ypsilanti dweller, life hasn't been the same since the Ypsilanti Press died (or more accurately put, was murdered by the Ann Arbor News).
So now not only do I not get daily Ypsilanti news in a paper form, but I get the ads from the A2dotcom paper on my front yard adding insult to injury.

Judy,

They sure aren't 'JOURNALISTS' are they?

They aren't supported by a reading public, otherwise we'd still have the AA News, therefore, they fall within the nasty realm of telemarketers and the like, huh?

Steve,

I don't know why cities and townships have to 'PUT UP' with this trash and question 'WHY' don't they just add a flier to their water bills (or other distributions like Neigh. Watch Newsletters) to inform their residents that they have an option to OPT OUT. It's like they're afraid to inform their taxpaying residents of the actual situation, my initial e-mail to those in YT questioned if they were getting KICK-BACKS to tolerate this garbage. Within 4 days Brenda S had the distribution stopped in my area.

I directed another YT resident who was tired of it to Brenda S a week or so ago and this resident received an apologetic phone call from Tony Dearing the other day.

Congrats, Mr Pierce! Wow. I still think our answer lies in an organized paper drop at the door of A2.com....a giant pile of trash in front of their headquarters might make them realize it's ain't per-tee!
However, the question I have is....do they actually HAVE headquarters anymore? Or do they drive around in an RV?
:-)
