Is Dan Gilbert the person to bring the biggest and fastest positive changes?

[darwinism]

You will have to excuse me and I mean no disrespect when I find it difficult to place someone on a pedestal that receives $200 million to do exactly what the mayor and city council are getting paid to do anyways.

Let's break down the numbers and think a little deeper about the statement above .....

We have had mayors after mayors, city councils after councils; disgrace after disgrace, incompetence after incompetence ..... how many millions of dollars are those worth ?

Gilbert is not the only wealthy person in this neck of the woods, anybody with a deep pocket can choose to accept the tax incentives and get to work making things happen. Yet, year after year, decade after decade, nobody steps up.

I'm sure we are all good at playing Monday quarterback after-the-fact. But at the end of the day, we are stacking up stats that are very impressive indeed ..... timeframe=2-3 years, cost to taxpayers=$200 Million.
