Detroit is broke. Where is all that casino money?

[Gistok]

Now this is good. Without the casinos, Detroit would have drown in red ink so they had to be the band-aid for the "D". I don't dispute that but imagine from 1999 [[when MGM opened) until 2008 [[financial collapse) Detroit had maintained its population. In fact, the number of people increased and there were business grown in the city. As a result, the city could use some of that casino money for a rainy-day fund. Detroit could be better than it is right now. IMO

Ummmm.... when did Detroit stop bleeding residents or businesses? Certainly not between 1999-2008.... downtown may have seen some upticks... but not the majority of the city.Meddle... stop spreading disinformation... MGM yeah the money went to Vegas.... Greektown... maybe it went to St. Sault Marie to the Indian Tribe [[although more than likely it went to banks and creditors)... and MotorCity... it too went to banks [[to pay off Marion Ilitch's loan to buy the rest of the casino)... and any leftovers went to Bingham Farms [[her residence).

Not really sure how to respond to this. I need a little help.
