If this is true, he really needs to have another meeting. On the east and west side, so that retirees, city workers, people living in the neighborhoods who feel powerless, can see that. Detroiters could care less about what the media says, the approval of the media plus 250 people is really useless. If he can go into the community and treat people with respect and say I care about you and I dont see you as useless and uneducated people [[the general concept of the average Detroit) and I am going to do my best to make your life better. He will probably get support. However, if he continues to isolate himself and speak through the media, he will continue to be thought as Snyders 'token' by most Detroiters.
