We do need a GOOD transit system, but this certainly isn't it. For the third time, the RTA has been disbanded until further notice. [[you know, the people that were in charge of putting a GOOD transit system in Metro-Detroit) The Blight Rail is nothing more then a money grab to add a choo-choo to the Gilbert-Ilitchville Snowtown. It'll only serve a minority of people, and is being put in so one of them can say "Look we have one just like the other guys". $140 mil for that, another $350 mil in donations for the stadium, another $60 mil in bonuses if "Midtown develops", another $6 mil to tear down Joe Louis Arena. Do you want to know why Detroit is stagnant and provincial? Because we just keep repeating the same mistakes over and over, but with a new twist! [[see "People Remover") Taxpayers keep putting their money in the hands of clowns who have a track record of lining their own pockets.
