I'm still trying to figure out what good casinos are doing in the city if THEY can't use that money to stop something like the elimination of teachers from happening. a shame..
Amen. I remember when the folks pitching the casinos had this brilliantly focused propaganda campaign about how their developments would bring all this cash into Detroit, thereby causing some kind of revitalization-through-osmosis or something. People ate that up too - as if even the hope that something could help, despite all evidence to the contrary, was worth the gamble (pun intended). So how'd that work out? I don't live there any more, and haven't for a while. But the last time I checked out the areas near the casinos it looked like the only improvement was that there was now light pollution.
