100 squad cars eh? Still keepin the big 3 . . . and their unions on life support. I imagine Detroit will be like Mayberry after those cars roll in. Mayor Bing: $8 million donations will buy 23 EMS units, 100 police cruisers | Detroit Free Press | freep.com Detroit private business, including the Penske Corporation, will donate $8 million for 23 EMS units and 100 police cruisers to boost public safety and reduce response times, Mayor Dave Bing announced this morning. Roger Penske joined Bing this morning for the announcement, which fell on new emergency financial manager Kevyn Orr’s first day. Orr was not at the press conference. Bing said it is a coincidence that the announcement fell on Orr’s first day.
Corporations are openly funding police departments and other public services now because the city is too broke to? Wow, 2013 is going to be rough.
