    The Influence of the Detroit Metropolitan Area

    The influence the Detroit Metropolitan Area has over our government is tremendous. It can only really be appreciated with numbers: the Detroit Metropolitan area controls 51 of the 110 seats in the State House, 17 of the 38 seats in the State Senate, and 5-6 of Michigan's 15 seats in the US Congress.

    The DMA has lost numerous citizens because of its poor leadership. Despite this, Democrats - if they retain the majority of their power next year - will probably attempt to retain their stronghold in Detroit through redistricting after the 2010 census.  This makes a Republican majority imperative for next year, to ensure fair redistricting.

    I wouldn't say that their "leadership" has driven us into the ground.

    Because of the "leadership", we're plowing straight through bedrock...and still going!

    OABTW, don't use stock footage from the Detroit Metro Convention and Visitor's Bureau in the future. That doesn't give a true representation of what the city really looks like.

    If you want a real good tour, I can take you into the heart of the city, seldom seen by outsiders (and for good reason).

    These are parts of the city that even the cops are afraid to go into.

    It'll make for great B-Roll.

    What a great article! (none / 0) (#3)
