CARTOON of the DAY: Shame on You, Whoever You Are!

Crain's Detroit Business - May 28

Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano has had his struggles with issues within his administration and there have been calls for an investigation of him, and even some suggestions that he resign. Amid all this, the Wayne County Commission recently took the courageous step of censure - uh, but without actually naming the County Executive who is the target of the censure! Maybe questionable leadership isn't limited to the Executive's office?
That's the Point!

Off the Drawing Board: In addition to the idea above, I offered this take on the situation in Wayne County to my editors at Crain's Detroit Business - including a mention of everyone's favorite former Detroit Mayor! Additionally, I offered an idea tying together the Detroit Consent Agreement and the recently revised Michigan fireworks law.
