Well at least Detroit and Michigan took first place in something in this country. What a mess our state is in and now this news reports gets piled onto our already dreadful economy. It's not bad enough we are one of the highest in unemployment with our very own automakers bailing out on us everyday. The FBI report came out and the local stations like Detroit's Fox news, WXYZ and WDIV all ran stories about this new report, but since it was noted nothing has been improved.. Yes, I know it's only been a short time, but why isn't the Mayor of Detroit stepping up to the plate and cleaning house. The police chief and other City of
Detroit officials have pointed out that the facts are not true.....come on....you don't need the report to tell us that crime is a huge problem in Detroit. It's time that the tax payers take a stand on this issue and make the Mayor of Detroit and the neighboring communities to become more proactive in solutions for our Detroit Area. We should be demanding improvements and if we just get lip service ask for recalls. If that doesn't work, then next time we have to vote make sure it counts.

To the Mayor of Detroit, Business Leaders, Detroit and surrounding leaders it's time to improve our situation and go back to the basics and take our city back from the criminals. Policies and laws need to be enforced with the city limits. If a building is condemned then it needs to be turned over the the city if not improved. Take all the condemed buildings, homes and structures and link them to become the largest urban park system in the United States. It's time to clean up our city with aggressive measures. Well...what are you waiting for....get moving!
