Belle Isle Lease - Watson calls it a "rape"

Letter to the Detroit Free Press on this topic.

October 3, 2013

About the only thing that would thrill me more than the State leasing Belle Isle from the City would be for Councilwoman Watson to immediately resign from the Council. November can't come soon enough. Watson took demagoguery to a new low when she called the lease a "rape" of the City.

I applaud the Governor, Mr. Orr, and Mayor Bing for coming to a win-win agreement to manage Belle Isle. As a regular cyclist on Belle Isle, I look forward to the day when I don't have to constantly steer clear of broken glass in the roadway.
