DPS Bond -

Let me see now, I supported the last bond issue for a billion plus dollars. People are leaving Detroit and enrolling their children elsewhere. Definition of Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results!

DPS Bond -

I know this will irritate some but, it's the only way I can express myself: "No New Taxes". Or, if you're of the Hip Hop persuasion: "Hell to the No"!

DPS Bond -

This is yet another reason why Detroit Public Schools need to hold grand jury instigative hearings. Subpoenaed witnesses requesting private meetings with Robert Bobb and/or his operatives set a dangerous precedent that will derail justice.

DPS needs a Grand Jury Hearing; not a Robb Bobb hearing. Reclaim our $1.5 Billion.

Robert Bobb and DPS

Robert Bobb and DPS spent $40 million on a company called Learning Village, a business with ties to one of DPS's corporate officers. And schoolchildren still don't have books, and he is asking teachers for $45 million is cuts. Sounds like same old, same old. When will it stop?
