I'm guessing Smirnoff gets his misinformation from Fox News "personalities" and other blowhard right wingers.
Pretty sure many here would label me "liberal-left" [[I'd take issue with the oversimplification), meanwhile literally no one on this forum has been more critical of public money giveaways for stadiums and District Detroit.
You could take your pick from dozens of examples. Here's one. And here's another where I predicted District Detroit was nothing more than a PR campaign to collect public money and said the Ilitches would try anything to renege on their promise to rehabilitate the Eddystone.
While you're at it, have a look at the membership of the Detroit Downtown Development Authority [[DDA), a subsidiary of the Detroit Economic Growth Corporation [[DEGC), and the Michigan Strategic Fund [[MSF), a subsidiary of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation [[MEDC). They're the ones giving away the money.
Lefty liberals? I think not. And I took that on too.
