Okay - I've lived in Detroit all my life except for the short time I was off at college earning my degree and then I came back to Detroit(which I'm now starting to regret).  I'm a product of the Detroit Public School System and swiftly approaching my 20 year high school class reunion.  Now my question is where is the money?  How can the school system be in such shambles (which hasn’t become any better within almost 20 yrs) when there are 3 casinos in the city of Detroit that is generating way over a billion dollars a week maybe more and a Michigan lottery that generates just as much?  When these items were proposed to the citizens to vote for gambling I thought there was to be funding provided back to the City of Detroit and the schools so show me the money?  Where is it and why are we in such debit with these Mega facilities within the city "Blowing Up”?  I was not a math major but I do know this doesn't add up to me so...you want to investigate something - tackle that Rob Wolchek.....
