Bing says rebuilding Detroit is 20-year task
No. 21, the jersey he wore to NBA stardom, hangs in Mayor Dave Bing's office on the 11th floor of the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center. Even as Detroit's CEO, Bing remains a team player, understanding that any leader's success depends largely on those around him. His controversial pick of Warren Evans last summer for police chief, for example, has already paid dividends, with fewer reported homicides, more case closures and better police-community relations.
