CNN Virg Bernero Remembered

Lansing area workers continue to suffer prolonged periods of unemployment because of poor administrative policies. Millions of dollars in construction is making it's way back to Grand Rapids while Lansing area construction workers continue to suffer due to rediculous policies coming from the nineth floor of city hall. And the wonders why he has budget problems...how is it that the mayor can go on air to fight for local U.A.W. jobs but do absolutely little to secure local construction jobs that would put Lansing area workers back to work, put much need monies back into the Lansing economy in the form of taxes. Instead, the mayor's policies or lack there of are allowing local tax to be removed from the area that is funding the greater grand rapids/west michigan economy. If Virg doesn't watch out, Grand Rapids may soon become the capitol city....

Do you feel he is corrupt or just making mistakes? Do you think he's honestly trying or doesn't give a damn? I can forgive mistakes, I can't forgive corruption. Also, I'd rather keep jobs in Michigan, so I understand why you'd be upset about him not keeping them in Lansing but at least it's still Michigan. When I first saw this video I thought you were implying he gave them to out of state workers or something.
