So the 11th?

The usual Campus Martius stuff [[Arctic Zone warming tent, s'mores stations) will be there, in addition to the new stuff for the NYE event [[food trucks, live entertainment, etc).

And now he's working at a law firm downtown in the "government relations" group...getting paid to lobby his buddies. On top of drawing this pension.

Especially since every DMC employee I've personally met that worked there during Duggan's reign has nothing but great things to say about him and his integrity.

If he laid a bunch of people off...

"Write in" has about half the votes. Benny's in second with ~30%....

Same here.

I've also noticed a lot of families, which is good to see.

Voted at 7:30, was #5. I'd say we had about 100 voters by noon at Frederick Douglas in District 6.

I don't believe that's true. I was under the impression that some of the art in the DIA is on loan from private owners and trusts. Some of the art is owned by the City, though.

Yes, that's what has been in the press. But there's no way Orr can guarantee that the appraisal won't be used for a sale. You never know what will happen in litigation, only likelihoods. Even if it's...

The creditors cannot force the city to sell the art. The judge cannot force the city to sell the art.

The judge will look at what the city is willing to give up and determine whether that's "fair"...

DuMouchelles? They already said they would refuse if asked.

And Orr is pretty much required to appraise the art. I'd be surprised if any were sold but he must account for it.

I guess you skipped over the other 99% of the article.

I think Detroit has a much easier time courting other city-dwellers who are used to [[and enjoy and prefer) living in a city than it does its own surrounding suburbanites. I considered the same cities...

A microcosm of nearly everything that's wrong with our city government.

At what point did the single-direction, one loop PM become the reality instead of the full plan? Because you can look at the plan for that and know it's a bad idea. I don't feel the same way with the...

I'll somewhat agree with that. It's a start. You have to change people's mentalities towards mass transit first. That's what our first line in Houston did [[but we had to wrestle public money to do...

Was the People Mover built as it was intended to be?

First, you're assuming that any ridership below Detroit's busiest line is not a success.

Second, you are comparing apples to oranges. Houston has a higher ownership of cars and again, this line...

How are the salaries at the top configured? Are they unionized or is it individual? I wonder if they have a cut coming?

But these cuts are only the upper ranks, I think.

Also, damn, that's low for the work and risks they take.
