Term limits were a bust in state legislature. Too much posturing and political grandstanding are being done by people who have little to no experience in how government should work. Seconsly, campaigning becomes too important, bouncing from senate to house in order to keep a job.
I would think that the council would be better served by more reasonable salaries less benefits and staff. People who serve the public should not put themselves above those that they serve. This would weed out those that are there just for the money or the prestige [[?).
Outlet stores are typically found in destination locations. Sometimes they make it, other times they don't. I am thinking about the empty outlet mall near Cedar Point. Going after outlet stores specifically may not work, but going after them as part of a comprehensive program to bring more retail into the City makes sense. In addition, a lot of outlet stores are aready conentrated in the area in Auburn Hills, typically outlet stores do not want to be found in large urban areas because they draw business away from non-outlet stores. Having two outlet stores in a metropolitan area is pretty much unheard of, unless she is thinking of places like TJ Maxx or Burlington as outlet stores.
