Halloween coming up. Don’t they always have a rash of ‘urban renewal’ then?

Considering where the rest of the country is headed I can’t think of a better test bed for conservative ideas on how to correct the problem.

Unemployment? That would assume they actually work.

70 years of LIBERAL economic disinvestment and social destruction will now be addressed by bulldozers and food stamps. This is the RAT the model for every city and municipality in the US. Where is the Republican outrage? We need a new party.

The story is pretty manipulated anyway.

The fact is that this was reported several weeks ago as $58 million given to Detroit along with a couple hundred million given to dozens of other cities around the country for the same types of things.

The private money was being given anyway and had nothing to do with the government despite anything the administration claims. The simple fact is that the private sector is doing the heavy lifting with the administration grabbing credit.

I’m a little surprised Obama hasn’t claimed credit for the new bridge which Canada is paying for.

Senate Bill 227: Facilitate continued Detroit “neighborhood enterprise zone” tax breaks
Passed 34 to 3 in the Senate on September 25, 2013, to amend a law which currently authorizes certain “neighborhood enterprise zone” property tax breaks to a particular developer’s project in a city with a population greater than 750,000 (Detroit), by lowering this population threshold to 600,000.
