I knew it was funded and I believe is being cast somewhere in the Midwest like Missouri or something, maybe Kansas. I thought it was going up across from the MCS though, and Im not speaking of the scrap made robocop erected this past winter.

I remember hearing that Bing wasn't going for that. It would be nice though. The area in front of MCS is perfect for statues or some type of outdoor art gallery.
I hated the idea of the statue but Tech Town is a great fit and this will also bolster WSU's reputation for not being concerned with the thoughts and concerns of actual Detroiters. Smooth move.
But it's not your money. A group of people wanted and funded it themselves. You don't have to like it personally, but don't make a public issue out of it.
Now go donate $1 million to build a community center because I said so.
Bing has no say in this other than getting a law passed that forbids robocop statues... The land proposed at MCS was owned by the Imagination Station. They had said all along that this was their fall back site if they couldn't get a better one. Tech Town stepped in and gave them a better one.
Bing just said that public funds weren't going to be used. He has no say what can be erected on private property with private funds.
