ERNIE HARWELL - MICHIGAN SPORTS HALL OF FAME, DETROIT TIGERS

The Inductees into the Mi Sports Hall of Fame should have their plaques hung in a museum at Michigan-Trumbull, which would also house the Ernie Harwell Collection...using a $3.8m Federal grant - and the Mayor and Council should accept Chevrolet's offer to preserve the Tiger Stadium baseball field - that would create a Michigan Field of Dreams - a tourist attraction, and generate money for the City.

The Mayor and Council should exclude George Jackson (who maybe under FBI investigation) and the DEGC from any discussion about Tiger Stadium area use.
The DEGC lied to the Corktown Community Association - telling them that Tiger Stadium
was too dilapidated and unsafe, inside for the group to inspect / tour...
The DEGC lied to the Detroit Planning Commission about Tiger Stadium..

Ken Cockrel told me that Mike Ilitch owed the City - money, for failing to maintain and secure Tiger Stadium per City agreements...Ken Cockrel told me that he would do everything he could to get the money back. One estimate is that Mike Ilitch owes the City up to $12 million dollars...

If it were not for George Jackson, the DEGC and Mike Ilitch - Tiger Stadium - today - would have been a tourist attraction, and entertainment / sports facility that could be producing more revenue to the City, than any costs to the City.

Use the federal grant and the Chevrolet offer to make Tiger Stadium grounds an asset to the City...NOW...
