Well George Jackson is in the limelight again... and it isn't good....

After reading the articles in Detroit Crain's Magazine, I think that Mr. Jackson is not the right person to move Detroit development into the future.

The city [[and Mr. Jackson) were very patient and took plenty of time in getting all their tax credits, zone designations, etc. for the Book-Cadillac and the Fort Shelby.

So now why the great impatience with Tiger Stadium? As the Conservancy spokesmen [[who works for Miller Canfield) said these things [[getting tax credits, etc) take time. Mr. Jackson should know that better than anyone.

It appears that Mr. Jackson's inconsistency in Detroit development has come thru loud and clear. And now he's in the national spotlight, and not in a positive way [[Keith Olbermann).

He and his staff ignored downtown business owner Mr. Raffner's contacts. And I've also heard an earful from other downtown business owners as well.

He seems to have trouble with contacts with Senator Carl Levin.

He jumped the gun on the Lafayette Building, and had to defend himself when temp Mayor Cockrel overruled him.

Maybe Mayor Bing should ask some of the Detroit business owners what they think? And for Mr. Jackson... rather than solving Detroits problems, maybe he's become a part of the problem.

What do you think?
