Interesting article by the Detroit News, just one of the many instances of the pervasive corruption in the city. My favorite part of the article is a quote that many TP's should hear (and can probably understand):
[/url]Detroit News wrote: Her neighbor, retired cafeteria worker Meredith Kominsky, 77, is puzzled by Robertson's tax break.
"There is no way this is fair," said Kominsky, who pays $1,000 a year in taxes.
She believes taxes are high in Detroit -- and at 69 mills, they are -- but says paying them is a part of civic responsibility.
"I could use the extra $1,000 a year to buy me some extras, but that's my duty," she said. "I get police protection. I get my street cleaned. I get my trash picked up. That stuff ain't free."
