BURN BABY BURN...DETROIT IS ABLAZE...
31 FIRES IN 32 HOURS...14 ON THE EAST SIDE...17 WESTSIDE FIRES....
With 'Devil's Night err Angels night approaching....
Detroit is ablaze, and the Detroit Fire Department can't handle the crush of fires that is engulfing Detroit. People suspect that most of the fires are arson !
Mayor Dave Bing, and the Detroit City Council are, in part, responsible - because they have failed to make Public Safety thee #1 issue in Detroit. Detroit has closed police precincts and fire stations.
The Detroit Police Department and the Detroit Fire Department are both undermanned, with low morale, and under paid, making due with poor executive leadership, bad equipment and long hours.
The Mayor and bloated City Council (with four (4)) more Council members than needed) have failed to put the safety of Detroit residents, police officers, fire fighters and visitors lives at risk, in part, because of petty bickering and a financially desperate situation, that they cannot solve on their own. The Mayor and City Council are at WAR against each other, while the City sinks deeper in debt and problems are not resolved.
This is at a time when Detroit had 140 shootings / 32 homicides in 15 days..not including more homicides since my last blog.
ps: Apparently the Detroit City Council, described by one of Detroit's major newspaper as a 'bunch of clowns' has rejected a proposal to make Belle Isle, a state park, that would restore the park to usable condition, make it safer, and save Detroit almose $3m dollars a year - saying it lacked specifics and was 'insulting' - If Detroit residents didn't deserve better - I would tell Govenor Snyder to walk away and let Detroit dissolve...but Detroit needs State and Federal assistance because the Mayor and City Council cannot and do not have the resolve to solve Detroit's problems.
