Let us look at the evidence shall we...
* It is run by Republican L Brooks Patterson.
* L Brooks, has no problem spiking the ball in the In-Zone everytime Detroit messes up, or he has a victory as a County over Wayne County, not the most magnanimous thing to do, but that is L Brooks.
* L Brooks is a radical innovator. They have a AAA Muni Bond rating, one of a few in the nation because in the mid 90's he got his Union employees to go along with Health Savings Accounts and a cousin of the 401k, the 401a
* Brooks I think was a big proponent of and got a Exposition Center which is a Direct Competitor of any major arena in Detroit, go here for a looksee of what it is http://suburbancollectionshowplace.com/
*It is gorgeous with free parking
* This Showcase gets venues and conventions that Detroit can only dream of, and it must piss them off royally that they do not have a monopoly for such events.
Gee ya think that it may have to do with Conservative Concepts and their success vs. the Left's idea's and their implementation and Dr. Reich is using race as a smoke screen to cover the fact that their ideas / execution and dysfunctionality is really the root cause of their ills?
