Its complicated - but Deadline Detroit is linking to an article in today's Detroit News by Kirk Cheyfitz on the Detroit Lighting Plan.

They suggest liking to Cheyfitz' site for more info. Then, in the comments Cheyfitz weighs in and connects the dots. he says:


  • Our story on the mayor's street lighting plan includes details of their intent to use tax money now dedicated exclusively to paying for police in order to back new debt for streetlights. And the Free Press says the mayor is simultaneously advocating a new millage tax to pay for police and fire. Interesting, no?
