DETROIT CITY COUNCIL: Elected same old twits as officers...why?




I have been very optimistic about the chances of the city of Detroit to climb out of the morass it has found itself after years of corruption and gross incompetence in city government.

Finally the citizens of Detroit voted for a mayor based on that person’s history of accomplishments as a city and county leader and not on the color of his or her skin.

The historic bankruptcy the city finds itself in will eventually work as it is supposed to and give the city and its citizens a new, fresh start at rebuilding itself; many young professionals are already looking to move into the city based on a spirit of revitalization.

The city council, long a source of corruption and incompetence saw, for the first time, elections by district and not at-large. This brought direct district representation and at long last, some much needed diversity.

So you can imagine my outrage when the new city council elected as its president and vice president two people that are connected to the corruption and incompetence that brought the city down in the first place.

What the hell were these young newly elected council members thinking? Are they that naïve that they cannot see that the city desperately needs new leadership and not the same old assholes that helped do the city in?

Brenda Jones and George Cushingberry will play their usual obstructionist game trying to make themselves leaders of the city instead of the mayor and the emergency manager. I hope that the new mayor and the emergency manager will take no shit from these twits and relegate them to where they belong; a council with no power where they cannot harm the city.
