it's weird, you'd think all business matters aside that maybe

even that
isn't the case (to an outsider looking in who knows nada).
maybe they should elect a non-threatening white mayor and give the

Well the city of detroit did give the rich white biz's owners a very
large and hefty tax break to move there companies down to the city.
The down side to this is that with such tax breaks add no tax revenue
to pay for thing that need to get payed for like school, fire
services, police services, road work, etc. The corruption is so
thick in Detroit that the money the city does have gets spent in
way's that do not help out the common folk. Like the mayor need to
spend millions on cars and protection, or does he? ;) In my time in
detroit I found the biggest problem Detroit has is apathy. Not much
will change if the apathy stays so thick..
