DETROIT WORKS PROJECT - (Mayor Bing's proposal to consolidate neighborhoods) will go nowhere with the current City Council - because they don't know how to 'do the right thing'...they want to expand the Council - under the new Charter, being written.
Detroit has lost over 600,000 residents to less than 900,000 people and still dropping -
The Council and the Mayor should come together to DOWNSIZE the City Council to five (5)..that's right to five, to make the Council more effective, efficient and ethical.
And by reducing the Council - you get a corresponding reduction in the Council budget. The current Council budget for staff - should be reduced - now.
Detroiters deserve better than what they are getting from this Council - any Council member who supports an expanded Council, should resign their job / and or be recalled.
ps: In Detroit electing Council by districts will lead to Corruption, downsize the Council now - and as Detroit is revitalized and people begin to move in - then consider expanding the Council - it probably will be time to revise the City Charter - then.
