DETROIT MAYORAL CANDIDATE SHARON McPHAIL REACTS TO MAYOR KWAME KILPATRICK’S STATE OF THE CITY ADDRESS
McPhail Says Mayor’s Address Skirts Grim Reality of Detroit’s Finances,
Fails to Recognize Population Loss, Importance of City Services and Other Critical Issues
McPhail Places Priority on Crime Prevention, Resident Safety, Provision of Reliable City Services by Accountable Employees , Fair Taxes and Mature, Responsible Leadership
Detroit Mayoral candidate Sharon McPhail today offered her reaction to Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick’s State of the City Address, saying Mayor Kilpatrick failed to adequately address several critical issues, including Detroit’s finances and its growing population loss.
“Since 2001, over 35,000 people have left the city of Detroit because even the most basic needs – such as the ability to raise a family in safety, a good public education system, reliable city services and fair tax rates – haven’t been fulfilled,” said McPhail. “Coupled with a combined $500 million deficit between the city and its schools, the state of the city of Detroit is not good, and it desperately needs to change.”
If elected to the Detroit Mayor’s Office, McPhail believes she and her appointed Deputy Mayor, former Detroit Police Chief Benny Napoleon, can reverse the city’s plight with a back-to-basics approach to Detroit’s governance.
“Detroit has much to be proud of, and it is the people of Detroit who make our city a great place to live,” said McPhail. “Mayor Kilpatrick’s lack of maturity and accountability has put our city on the decline. The fact is, we need a common-sense approach to making Detroit the great city it once was, and it starts with the basics, including good schools, a strong police force dedicated to resident safety and crime prevention, fair and equitable tax rates, and the provision of reliable city services from accountable employees.
“No city can rise above the image of its leader,” continued McPhail. “Detroit’s citizens no longer believe or trust the Mayor. The key to Detroit’s turnaround is the presence of mature and responsible leadership. It’s what Detroit is sorely lacking, and it’s what Benny and I will provide if elected to the Detroit Mayor’s Office.”
“Since 2001, over 35,000 people have left the city of Detroit because even the most basic needs." And she got sworn in to her first public office, the Detroit City Council, equal to the executive branch, in? 2001.
“No city can rise above the image of its leader.” So true, Ms He-tried-to-electrocute-me/Hmm mm-let's-go-eastside/I'm-a-rac ist?-well-how-about-AfricaTown -and-Sambo-Awards-to-unite-all -of-Detroit/et-cetera-et-ceter a-et-cetera.
Mature? Like a petty disrespectful boycott of the Boy-Mayor's speech? Responsible? Like keeping all 14 of dead Kay's staffers on the payroll/dole?
BZZZZZZZ. Game over. Thank you for playing. Now go back to Ecorse or Southfield or Massachusetts or wherever it was that you carpet-bagged here from. |

Oh Bin you are so mature. Maybe you should move out of Detroit (if you live here) that would certainly raise our intelligence level. |

SS, she couldn't wire up an office chair, her hands were occupied taking detailed notes of the proceedings WHILE rolling her eyes. |

What? Her loyal assistant wasn't on hand to re-rig her chair? I thought he could always be found sniffing around her. |
