The headline, IMO, is not misleading as 38% of commissioners chose not to even allow this on the ballot. Sorry, if 38% of a sample population is against regionalization and arts because of the geographic location the region is doomed to live up to it's reputation of a backwoods region.
Additionally, the point of my post was about Chris Long's statements that she can't support a tax for an institution in Detroit. Detroiters paying for the Zoo is fine. Detroiters paying for HCMA is fine but reverse the role and it is a burden on her and her neighbors.
That attitude is sickening and will kill the region. I woudl hope that Ms. Long would actively try to repeal HCMA and Zoo taxes since there are communities without these assets in their backyard.
