Pitiful!!
Liberalism is as Liberalism does.
Perhaps the Detroit Lions will move to become the L.A. Lions? Come to think of it, Portland could use a baseball team and Seattle a basketball team.
Just Detroit down.
Thanks, educators! I mean...union thug indoctrinators!
Next we’ll hear China will buy Detroit.
These people are the Non-Productive Wasteful side to our Society,they are completely incapable of governing.
The Chinese are not that stupid. The schools do not teach these children anything except how to fill out welfare forms.
Time for the city to invest in some huge bulldozers.
What Detroit needs is an Army of bulldozers.
I’m not sure the math works out too well for them in this. Saving $31.5 Million to plug a $327 Million hole? From the look of this they could close every school and not have enough money to pay pensions. Perhaps they should look into dumping the pension altogether to the Fed pension security fund and just re-org the whole thing under new contracts. If the teachers strike, fire the lot.
Who in their right mind would buy property in that liberal paradise?
Talked recently with a good friend who lived in Detroit as a kid. She went back recently to show her kids the house she grew up in. The house was gone. So was much of the neighborhood. Not just dilapidated. Gone. Back to prairie grass gone. It was very unsettling for her.
62 inner city kids per class? Why even bother?
IMO, the city has no choice but to declare bankruptcy.
Why is Detroit even bothering to fund education and schools? Three fourths of the students dropout and don’t graduate.
Oh, I see. This is just to keep union teacher’s jobs secure and has nothing to do with educating Detroit’s kids. Even more reason to shutdown the Detroit Public Schools.
The teachers unions and other bureaucrats have become like the corrupt monarchs and clerics of Medieval Europe. They are the Sheriff of Nottingham. We need a Robin Hood.
The entire city of Detroit was just listed on E-Bay with no reserve. Highest bidder so far is about $7.
Half kidding, contract Peter Kiewit Sons Co. the for the job, tell the ambulance chasers to get lost and in 24 months Detroit would be back on track. No, I don't work for them, but I have worked with them...a truly remakable company and employee owned.
Do you really think my comment was serious? Detroit is gone and will continue to decay. Nobody will invest there again. It’s a sewer and the sludge will only increase. They also have an increase in their Muslim population.
