Told you so. [[Crooked city officals and Camp Brighton)

Hopefully the city is able to get the property back as the citizens of Detroit deserve better. Also with luck the new council members and Mayor Bing will be able wash more of this dirt out of Detroit.

"Detroit -- A former Detroit police officer is expected to plead guilty today to a bribery conspiracy charge related to the city of Detroit's sale of Camp Brighton in 2007.
Jerry M. Rivers is scheduled to appear before U.S. District Chief Judge Gerald E. Rosen at 3:30 p.m.
Court documents unsealed today allege Rivers arranged for the non-profit entity that bought the 320-acre Camp Brighton to pay $50,000 to a middle man. That money was disbursed to Rivers and two city officials, the court documents allege"

IMO the citizens of Detroit are getting shafted accepting such a small amount for Camp Brighton. Someone's definitely getting some kickbacks when such a prime piece of undeveloped land sells for barely half of it's appraised value.
