I'm sorry, I don't really understand that post. I don't understand the 28 percent figure. Not sure what you mean about federal funds financing a purge of corruption. You mean the consent decree for the police department? Not sure how the state is helping purge any corruption.
Maybe I could be more clear.
When Lansing came in to reform the school district, the district was operating at a surplus. After the state takover, it was operating at a deficit.
When Robert Bobb took over the system, he went on a spending spree and left the district more impoverished and in debt than before.
Given this kind of behavior, I think Detroiters have every right to be wary about Lansing.
And I do believe that outstate representatives don't understand cities very well [[so many are from small towns) and are hostile to minorities [[Wayne is the only country where the main heritage claimed is African).
Does that make sense?
