FLIPSIDE - Detroit, the Armpit of America

With the auto industry slipping into the grave on its last dollar, Detroit seems to be in the same category. The auto industry is the main infrastructure holding our collapsing city above sea level. This morning we had a primary which turned out less voters than local bakeries had show up for paczkis. With that said, we have an interim mayor who airs television commercials saying that he has helped forge a plan for the renovation of Cobo Hall, then in today's freep.com I see the city council has killed the idea by a 5-3 vote. So how does that work?

You mean to tell me that the former president of the city council forged the Cobo deal, but his very own council members shot it down? He can't even control the city council and we're supposed to let this guy run an entire city. Laughable at the least. The Cobo Center is the home to a national event with the North American Auto Show and the renovation would bring jobs as well as future investments from outside sources to use our new state of the art convention center. Thanks alot city council, you can have your president back, we'll find another mayor. Catch ya' on the FLIPSIDE
