This is utterly ridiculous. A microcosm of why Detroit's leadership continues to fail time and again. WHO CARES IF THE CONTRACTORS ARE FROM DETROIT!? Isn't it more important that families are safer? Can't we get some council members with a more regional point of view? The cheapest bid should be accepted, given the city's financial troubles regardless of where the contractor is. At least Kevyn Orr can override their decisions.
