New London). Ain't that a bitch? I was totally surprised by the manner in which the justices rendered their opinions, especially the way they voted. Yeah, when there's money to be made it don't matter. Case in point was the "Poletown" deal years ago in Detroit where a whole neighborhood got bulldozed down to make way for a new GM plant. The argument went that it would be GM's flagship of efficiency etc. Well it never did live up to its hype, nor produced the kind of tax revenues the city was hoping to get either. Know anyone that retired from there? |
