And then you have another issue with another one of Detroit's outer-extent satellite cities...Toledo...which just happens to be in Ohio, which means they will never, EVER share ANY tax in ANY form with Detroit and Flint. Neither will the residents of Columbus, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Akron, Canton, Youngstown, Sandusky, Lima, Hamilton, Springfield, Athens and Zanesville.

And going back to within Michigan, people in the west side of the Lower Peninsula are seemingly trying hard to not share taxes with Detroit and Flint, to the point that some folks in the far southwest corner of the state will often associate themselves more with Chicago, yet folks there won't ever, again, share any taxes with Michigan.
