The New District of Calamity
For years, News of the Weird has touted the magnificently dysfunctional municipal government of Washington, D.C., as the "District of Calamity," but improvements have been made, and the nation's capital has been overtaken by the disaster that is Detroit.
A Detroit News investigation revealed in June that the police department has routinely downgraded obvious "murder" cases, to make the city seem less unsafe. [Detroit News, 6-18-09]
A Detroit Public Schools auditor reported in June that the system has been issuing regular paychecks to 257 nonexistent employees. [Detroit Free Press, 6-24-09]
City Councilwoman Monica Conyers, the wife of a U.S. congressman, pleaded guilty in June to accepting a cash bribe for a council vote. [New York Times, 6-27-09]
A May Detroit Free Press survey revealed that the population of three large Detroit jails has mysteriously declined, which it suggested was because police have simply stopped investigating certain crimes. [Detroit Free Press, 5-28-09]
This is more of an AD that says Hey! if your a criminal come on down to Detroit.. Maybe we will catch ya and maybe we won't or will just file it away until someone else takes on the responsibility.. What you allow you encourage!!! Wake up Detroit! Source: www.newsoftheweird.com/archive/index.html
