Michigan GOP releases ad bashing Detroit.

[Bham1982]

If you really think Detroit is "overspending" you are totally delusional.

Well then call me totally delusional, because there is waste all over the place in Detroit.

City managers have luxury cars for their free personal use, there are entire departments of limited utility, and there's no shortage of tax dollars spent on questionable "economic development".

Yes, the city overall has little money, and many day-to-day functions are starved to the bone, but there is a ton of waste in pretty broad sectors of city government.

This is in contrast to Oakland County, which, despite its wealth and prosperity, has cut personnel costs much faster than either Detroit or Wayne County. Both Detroit and [[especially) Wayne have a ridiculous amount of questionable spending.

I only wish my city government were as well run as the county government.

I will never vote Republican ever again!

I m quite sure in the Republican fashion of recent that after the the election is done they will come out with some sort of statement saying the ad was misunderstood and not meant to cause any malicious damage to Detroit or the region. It seems to be their motus operandi for everything lately. but the damage , very intentionally, will already have been done. This had been the strategy for long time now. Yes, if they cared about the city and region they would not air an ad like that, but, their interests at the present time have nothing to do with that. Your best way to combat against this behavior is to vote against them in November. If a Republican president is elected, this area should expect little or no support. Romney has no loyalty to Detroit or its areas.
