Bing is no Kwamee.

Sounds to me like he’s doing what needs to be done. He’s a true democrat but he appears to be a businessman first. Firing slacker union bus drivers, refusing to deduct union dues from city employee paychecks...

Bing is doing the right thing. If anyone has driven through some parts of Detroit, it looks like a 3rd world country. Entire blocks look like they have been shelled. He is the best Detroit could ask for in a city of total corruption. He is indeed ruffling a lot of dem feathers which is a good thing. He is a dem but some dems actually consider him a DINO, even though he is buddies with Obama.

I met him once at a business Christmas party.

It was a partnership minority owned business. Bing, I believe owned 51% of Detroit Heading Co.

Very nice, down to earth type guy. He had some excellent people handling the day to day. We had a lend lease going back and forth with machine repair departments between several companies. The answer to big 3 demands of minority content was solved in part by guys like Bing.

Not a policy I agreed with at the time (me at the time being a Democrat), or a policy I would ever agree to.

I think Bing is the real deal; successful businessman, believer in a town and it's people, willing to take the bullets and do what has to be done.
Say what you want about all democrats. Every so often you do want one to succeed.
