What is going on in Detroit is not only pissing me off to no
end, others I have noticed are also besides themselves as to the Detroit
response to the governor’s offer of help with his consent decree.
All columnists and editorial writers in both our papers have
stated that Detroit should take the governor’s offer and sign the consent
decree as the best possible thing Detroit could do at this particular point in
the city’s slow implosion.
And yet, the mayor and the city council are saying that the
only way they can accept the consent decree is IF THEY REMAIN IN CHARGE.
This defies all logic as they are the ones that FAILED to
get the city out of its dilemma and their failure has resulted in the dire
straights the city finds itself in; why would the governor place them in charge
and give them money to do what they have obviously been unable to do all this
time; they are INCOMPETENT.
More, they are ARROGANT and do not have the city’s best
interest at heart; only their own power!
I have talked for years about the Detroit
Governor Snyder touched on the same theme I have been
touching on for years when he said: “If
you have a problem, is the answer to say ‘Go Away’ or is it to hold up your
hand and say ‘We Need Help’? That’s a cultural problem they have there.”
They want and demand money but they do not want
accountability with that money. They want to keep doing the same nonsense they
have been doing all along.
Detroiters immediately jumped on Governor Snyder accusing
him of being a racist by saying his use of the word “culture” really means a
“black culture” which is derogatory and stereotyping. He politely replied that
his statement was in no way racist but indicated the way Detroit leaders seem
to act in the face of trouble, over and over again until it becomes part of
their makeup; their culture.
Michiganders that cheered Detroit ’s
attempts at revival with the election of Mayor Bing and a new city
Some are saying that the mayor and the council are actually
playing a smart political game by showing the voters that they fought with all
their might a state takeover but were overpowered by the racist governor so
they should be re-elected when the governor finally fixes the city so they can
get started on trashing it again as they have over and over and over again.
