Would that this was an April Fools trick, but it’s not. There’s still more bad news from Detroit.
Detroit is a cesspool of corruption and is beyond credible efforts to save it from its inexorable slip into oblivion.
Given the massive budget shortfalls facing Democrat controlled cities around the country Detroit aka “Cesspool City” will be only the first of a string of failed cities plaguing America’s revival efforts.
The list of outrages coming from Cesspool City are the things horror movies are made of.
*Coleman Young’s twenty years in office which started and accelerated the “White Flight.”
*The election and reelection of Kwame Kilpatrick who eventually was convicted of corruption and draining City funds for his personal use.
*Former City Council President Monica Conyers who will be going to federal prison for extortion and bribe receiving fittingly involving a sludge removal company.
*A School Board President who has a tenuous relationship to written English and is a former Special Education student.
*A real estate market that features free or $1.00 homes that still can’t be moved.
*A Public School System that discovered at least 250 previously unrecognized phantom employees who could not materialize to personally sign for the first paycheck distribution last September.
*A Public School System that has the lowest performance levels of any city in the country.
Now comes the news that the FBI has uncovered a scheme that was able to defraud the Detroit Public School system of at least $57 million by diverting the money to private accounts.
Some of the parties that received the money stolen by former School’s Director of Risk Management Stephen Hill were his friends and/or family members of his assistant.
When Hill retired from Cesspool City he threw himself a $40,000 200 guest going away party.

DPS scam cost $57 million.
To be fair, democrat mayor Dave Bing has been better than anything we’ve seen in a long time for Detroit. (There won’t be a republican elected in detroit anytime soon)
Detroit? New Faluja? New Orleans of the North? Not in my lifetime.....
2 good things have happened in detroit...mayor dave bing (the propoganda campaign against him has just started, and the embedded criminals will try and bring him down) and Bob Bobb, the state appointed school emergency financial director (the machine has been trying to bring him down for over a year now) the only way to save this city is to remove every single city employee, and start all over again..
Nothing can bring Detroit back.
I’d say Mayor Bing is probably the closest thing to a DINO Detroit has had in decades. Dave Bing is a self-made man. NBA super star, business owner (Bing Steel), mayor.
...here’s a little slide show...it shows what decades of black Democrat rule can do:

Is there anything left in Detroit to steal?
My suggestion is to surround the city with barb wire and build a guard tower every eighth mile. I suppose the Tunnel and Bridge to Windsor can be kept open.
Bookmarked to read later.
It’s not directly accountable to their skin color or that they conveniently have a D after their name.
The people who made up the government in Detroit became “tribal” under Coleman Young. It’s only gotten worse. Bing needs to undercut that system.
Reality hits hard.
I live near Detoilet and have an awesome picture to post, I have to get a Photobucket acct first though. It’s priceless.
How long is it going to take?

He was background checked and passed. Stroger decided to Google Mr. Hill where he found out about Hill's Detroit shenanigans.
Stroger ? A RAT.
Get out, troll. I am hitting the abuse button.

Yes but his City Council is made up of misfits, loons and bolsheviks
