Is there some connection between LBP and Duggan that I don't know about? Not that it would be disqualifying, especially considering that the alternative is Napoleon.
LBP has his distasteful aspects, and I agree that his vision of the region is short-sighted, but give the guy some credit--he's been running his game for several decades and it's worked out for him pretty well, and not so badly for Oakland County up until recently. I think that the jig is pretty much up, but I could be wrong.
Nor do I think he is an inappropriate representative of his constituents, who have [[on average) no more vision than he does, and from what I can see, no greater desire to eliminate regional divides. Oakland county could do worse, and someday soon it may.
