Yep, and honestly the Illitch related problems are a local/state level issue. Whatever her opinion might be on them she's now our representative in Washington, not Lansing.

Ah... but she's the only politician so far with enough backbone to call the Ilitches out... city and state government haven't said a word.

Besides, she didn't take office in Washington until Jan. 3, 2019. So she was a politician in Michigan when many of the backroom DDA and DEGC deals were made for the Ilitches to get taxpayer money. Having that done while she was in Michigan [[representing a district in Detroit) gives her every right to complain...
