A couple of questions for the candidates for Governor would be "What great city should Detroit aspire to match and what makes that city great?"
1. Is it the state capitol with a large number of government buildings anchoring the downtown? No.

2. Do large numbers of corporations and financial institutions make the city their national or regional headquarters with dedicated high rise buildings downtown? No.

3. Is the city a "mecca" for retail from the surrounding area? No.

4. Is the city a transportation nexus for rail or highway? No.
