Why Troy Rules Over Detroit!
This is from the Detroit News Politics Blog. I wonder what the numbers are in Detroit. Stick it to 'em Detroit! Let's prove them wrong!
Quote:
"At 4:30PM, at least 650 of 1152 voters have voted in Troy, Pct. 20, roughly 56% of registered voters in the precinct. By now, I figure at least 700, if not more. Late drive-time voting should pump that number up by 8pm. I'm glad I live in a participatory district, considering rumors and twitters seem to be pointing at really low participation rates in Detroit."

Staying Focused On Detroit
I agree that the suburbs have issues and problems, which is why I champion the city, and have started my family here. However, this topic is about Troy mainly being a participatory community, and more importantly, how Detroit is remaining passive. It seems like this puts Detroit at an unfair disadvantage, albeit one it has earned by not voting.
If you are a strong Detroit supporter, like I am, I fail to see how this wouldn't bother you.

56% in Troy is roughly 650 people. 10% in Detroit [[and I'll be surprised if it's not higher than that) is roughly 40,000 people.
lol, well so much for this non-topic. It's the typical SE Michigan bullshit of the suburbs trying to measure themselves up with a big city like Detroit.
