Let me get this straight… Detroit is offered $288 million to renovate Cobo Center and it is shot down 5-3 by the City Council? Why? Because Council President Monica doesn’t think Detroiters get enough preferential treatment for jobs in the plan?
Wow. talk about delusional. A better deal will not come along and the Auto Show [...] Read more »
The recent mortgage crisis has people blaming greedy homeowners for borrowing more than the value of their homes or the banks for handing out loans like they were chewing gum.

I rarely agree with Detroit Free Press columnist Rochelle Riley when it comes to political views but I often agree with her when it comes to helping the city.
She loves Detroit and so do I. I grew up in the city and only moved when my job took me to the suburbs. She has roots [...] Read more »
(Michigan J. Blogger note: This post doesn’t directly relate to Michigan but it involves Nancy Pelosi, a politician I believe is pretty useless. I am also not a Catholic.)
