TIGER STADIUM - TRUTH AND LIES...NO DEMOLITION NOW

Re: Stadium proposals fell short (Josar 7/19/07) Detroit News...

Letter to the Editors,

N------ up front" as abhorrent as the N-word should be to all people...so should the idea that historic Detroit Tiger Stadium sits vacant and plans for its redevelopment and maybe other development projects, in Detroit, were rejected because they lacked 'minority representation'. (Stadium proposals ... 7/19/07).

The Corktown district had to be expanded because a councilperson objected to the lack of 'minority representation'. Casino licenses were held up because of lack of 'minority representation'. What message does this send to legitimate developers - you must put up or don't develop, in Detroit?

The Detroit Economic Development Corporation (DEGC) and its representatives have lied to the Corktown residents ( it claims it represents), to the City Planning Commission which rejected demolition plans for Tiger Stadium, and are now with the Mayor's consent and blessings trying to rush plans for demolition thru the City Council. The DEGC report on plans that were submitted for development of Tiger Stadium, reportedly left out some plans, so that the full reasons for its vacant status can't properly be determined.

Tiger Stadium was and can be a viable entertainment venue and a revenue producing facility for the City, but the TRUTH must be told and examined - and yet it isn't - Why? Maybe the US Attorney, Stephen Murphy, and the FBI can determine the TRUTH about Tiger Stadium, where the money for security and maintenance was spent, by Mike Ilitch, if it was! and Why must lies and misrepresentation of the facts be included in the discussion.

Detroit needs the TRUTH about development proposals and none should be rejected because they lack 'minority representation'.
