Detroit State Rep. Mary Rose Robinson made a number of interesting [[for lack of a better term) claims, accusations, arguments, and assertions in an interview that aired today on "Off The Record."

Among other things, she asserted that "they" [[Duggan and others) were catering to an "artificial community" downtown, while ignoring the neighborhoods. When questioned further on the subject, she then switches up and says that Duggan is only focusing on the "nice neighborhoods", and ignoring the rest of the city neighborhoods, such as the "east side". When the moderator then asks her about Duggan's blight clearance in the bad neighborhoods [[i.e. the neighborhoods she says he is ignoring), she switches up again and says "that not addressing the issues of poverty, unemployment, and poor health."
