Detroit has one city employee per 41 residents. For comparison, Indiapolis has 1 for every 201 residents. There is a statute in MI that mandates that Detroit get about 25% of the state's revenue sharing funds, but only has about 10% of the state's population. They get $1.1 billion per year for "educating" the chirrrun, but have about a 50% graduation rate. That's from State Rep. Jack Brandenburg.

I've also heard elsewhere that there are around 9000 abandoned properties in Detroit.

Kwame is a corrupt, "thug-liaafe" gangsta-lifestyle kind of mayor, giving cushy city jobs to his friends.

Detroit is also, if anyone cared to look, a source of great vote fraud.

Detroit isn't near a big levy by any chance is it?

Do you have any linkable sources on $/student-year spent on education in the Detroit schools? I'd love to rub someone's nose in them.

It is actually about 12,000. (A lot either way)

The funniest thing going on in Detroit is people setting up farms on all of these abandoned properties. The lefties talk about this like it is a good thing.
