Did Flint have decades of Democrat administration?
See post #10 this thread.
From 1987 to 1991, Flint had a West Point grad, who, if he was a Democrat, was barely one: Matthew Collier.
I thought he was a pretty good guy, and that the city had a little hope when he took office.
Unfortunately, midway through his term, that complete slime ball Michael Moore released "Roger & Me". It was - as we now know is true of all of Moore's movies - full of lies. Mayor Collier said that it completely undercut his efforts to get new investment to move into the city.
