So if we want to set up a regional authority in metro Detroit to enact taxes only here and improve our quality of life, they will refuse to bring those measures to a vote because ... of a rigid ideological opposition to taxes across the board? That's not democracy. That's downright ridiculous.

Perhaps metro Detroit should secede from Michigan -- just temporarily. Say a trial separation of 10 years. I wonder just how well those roads would be maintained all over the state without the economic activity generated in these four counties ...
