Handout Nation (now it's Detroit)
City Council: Detroit needs $10-billion bailout
Excerpt:
The Detroit City Council passed a resolution today calling for a $10-billion bailout for the city of Detroit.
Council President Pro Tem JoAnn Watson sponsored the resolution to use the money for public service employment, to fund mass transit plans and to place a moratorium on home foreclosures for two years.
The resolution specifically requests the council meet with Mayor Ken Cockrel Jr., Gov. Jennifer Granholm, the state’s congressional delegation, U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and officials from President George W. Bush’s office and President-Elect Barack Obama’s transition team.
Comment: Everyone seems to have their hand out!
Over eleven grand for every man, woman, and child in the city, which has got to be close to the average INCOME, never mind tax revenue.
