You probably saw Detroit Councilwoman JoAnn Watson yesterday(snip)Here’s an updated-for-entertainment-value version of JoAnn’s dissertation on quid pro quo
"After the election of Jimmy Carter, the honorable Coleman Alexander Young, he went to Washington, D.C. He came home with some bacon," said Watson. "That's what you do."
I thought you might enjoy a little history lesson, and see some of the “bacon” that the honorable and legendary Detroit Mayor Coleman A. Young brought home from then President Jimmy Carter’s stash.
Let’s just remember who owns whom here Jimmy-boy
The primo bacon prize was surely the Detroit People Mover:
A train bound for nowhere
(snip)Here’s what the UMTA project had in mind with it’s demonstration project:
“The intent of that program was to determine how well a fully automated transit
system might contribute to the revitalization of central business

Allow me to answer the part about revitalizing the central business district:
Not so much, more like the end of the line.

General Motors (again)
Dead-tree Mainstream News Outlets
And many more.
Better hold on to something. There’s going to be a midwest earthquake of epic proportions. It was just announced that a right to work bill will be introduced in Michigan today.
Obama doesn’t need them anymore.
They should have asked for the money up front.
The same reason the people in the NY/NJ area affected by the hurricane are not getting help - the election is over. They are not needed any longer.
Let’s not forget the Obamamoney lady is in Detroit.
You have your finger on Lansing’s pulse. Does it have a snowball’s chance in heck of passing into law?
We are all just bumps in the road now.
I was going to go to Lansing today with a sign the protest against the Union Thugs that said “ Right to Work, No More Union Slavery”, but I value my life.
I would have been killed in the rotunda, I just know it.
JoAnn’s carrying around enough bacon to keep Detroit going for decades.
That’s right-I want two fried chickens and a coke!
That’s right-I want two fried chickens and a coke!
Obama will have bacon with him.
