Mayor Duggan and education

Mayor Duggan Detroit's Mayor needs to get more involved in the education of the city's youth. The city's future, including it's viability, depends on it. Part of his job is to lay the groundwork for future prosperity for the municipality and he cannot sit on the sidelines and hope for better results at DPS! He must provide his expertise and opinions. I am not suggesting DPS come under the wing of the Mayor. I propose a formal communications link that allows interaction and feedback flowing in both directions.

If this does not happen neither entity will prosper and achieve their objectives.The city will not achieve its objectives of stabilizing its population, let alone growing, without good schools. Good schools will not happen if the population does not at least stabilize while its household income grows. The city will not attract a middle class from the suburbs without good schools.

Bloomberg Strategy

If Bernie Sanders becomes the Democratic nominee there is a good chance of Donald Trump being reelected. That is why Russia is supporting his nomination. Let that sink in as you consider whether to vote for Sanders. This country was not built on socialism, but it could be severely damaged by socialism. It is Controlled Capitalism that made the United States the envy of much of the world's population. Controlled Capitalism is what made America great and that is where we must return if we as a nation want to once again return to greatness. The best candidate to take us there is most likely Michael Bloomberg, but first he must atone for his past sins including “Stop and Frisk” while he was Mayor of New York. He needs to confess he made a mistake. Per Wikipedia , “In 2002, there were 97,296 "stop-and-frisk" stops made by New York police officers; 82.4% resulted in no fines or convictions. The number of stops increased dramatically in 2008 to over half a million, 88%
