A SHINING MOMENT IN DETROIT HISTORY

It hasn't happened in years but the Detroit City Counsel took a stand on an important issue that is in the interests of Detroit's residents,instead of the mafia bosses or GM. Detroit is a city almost with out any libraries,bus service or even fire protection. The police department is basicaly a skeltton crew used to control the population instead of protecting it. Its an understatement to say that Detroit has the poorest city services in the country. Its one of the poorest big cities in North America.
In a recent vote the Detroit City Counsel voted against handing Cobo Hall over to a regional board that wants to waste hundreds of millions of dollars of much needed money rebuilding the convention facilty. Its a waste because Detroit with all of its problems dosent attract any conventions. The tourists that do visit come to see all the abondoned buildings(The Ruins of Detroit). And Cobo Hall just sits there unused. And investing a ton of money to rebuild it isnt going to change that.
The mafia owned casinos were behind this ploy to spend millions the state dosent have to fix this unused facility when Detroit has so many other pressing problems like having the highest number of childern living in poverty of any big city. Inspite of tremondous preassure from Detroit's mafia bosses like Mike Illich Detroit's City Counsel made the right decision and voted against them and for the city.
