Detroit needs NEW LEADERSHIP! Not leftovers

[mwilbert]

Bad institutions can create bad government, but it takes more than a good institutional structure to create a good government. You can only have accountability if the people hold officials to account. We have not seen a lot of that in Detroit. I would argue we haven't seen enough of it in the country as a whole.

I'm not sure that there is a solution for that.

If you elect me to the Charter Commission and I will fight tooth and nail to institute a district [[ward) system.

You've got my vote, Andy. Might I suggest adding some teeth to the Historic District Commission as an additional plank in your platform?

[HazenPingree]

Bolstering the HDC is a wonderful idea. I will examine that and see how it could best be done.

Danny, what do you think of Dave Bing?

Since it would reduce the cost of filling a Council vacancy, I'm for Council by District. But, unless we become more responsible in electing our officials, we're going to get the same kind of idiots that we currently have, just through a different system.

But, good luck to Andy.

Retroit,

I do not support Mayor Bing. For starters he's a businesses man doing manfacturing work, he lacks on city politics and he has series of violations over the years with his company. Detroiters voted for him due to new leadership concept not on his political principles. Most Detroiters are just sick and tired of young Kilpatrick wannabes who tried to run for office. Therefore Detroiters voted for a businessman to become mayor. The People of Detroit don't want any more parties coming for young politicians. So let's see what Bing can do move Detroit forward.
