An Important Day for Detroit
An Important Day for Detroit | Via Meadia
"The report follows Detroit’s descent from one of America’s greatest cities into a Third World-style wasteland of incompetence and corruption where streetlights are dark, police don’t respond to calls, and the poor are left to fend for themselves.
The process of ruin took decades and is the work of more than one generation of a degenerate political class. But Kwame Kilpatrick’s story is a reminder that the hyenas are still picking at what little is left of the city’s corpse."

House GOP Not Passing Senate Bill Continues Lansing Tradition Of Underfunding Pensions
Commentary: House GOP Not Passing Senate Bill Continues Lansing Tradition Of Underfunding Pension ... [Michigan Capitol Confidential]:
