Have the politics in City Council shifted?

[MSUguy]

You act like this is some new phenom. When have Watson and Co. ever blocked anything? Since KK was first elected the city has day to day management of the Eastern Market, the Zoo, etc. Now in some instances things like Cobo didn't go through, but later passed after some negotiation. The Belle Isle deal is another example, there was an article in paper last week, how this will come back after the new year. The state met with some members and made some changes they wanted. The idea that council is full of 'screw the man' types is not born out by history. Yes, in case some these things required negotiation[[the horror), but they pass eventually. So I don't get the shock about council doing these things.
