Exactly how many tens or hundreds of millions more should the other counties throw at Detroit?
I think people here are mistaken about the job of a county exec. Their job is not to engage in expensive social experiments,.. or to see how much of their constituents money they can send to other counties. It's to frugally run the county they represent.
L. Brooks has done a great job of that. Even in the tough times of 2009-2013,.. his foresight and fiscal policies held it together. Still, money is tight there. OC is supposed to maintain and repave the streets. But they don't have the money,.. so sub-divisions are having to pay the bill themselves. That means after paying their taxes,.. home owners have to cut a check for $35,000 when it comes time to re-do the street.
