DWEJ Pres./CEO Williams is correct about thee disappointments as they relate to the citizens and Detroit Works. Not only are citizens confused but those whom are educated on community know that much of what Detroit Works has and is proposing will not work. On the eastside citizens are involved with the LEAP project and it makes much greater sense that Detroit Works work collaboratively with such projects. I would also like to see Detroit Works become more of a re-branding campaign for the city than what it is currently being utilized as. To be able to see the city’s website in a green mode showing our spirit of Detroit along with the “Detroit Works” as a montra or slogan and showcasing differing neighborhoods and orgs such as dwej would be phenomenal a real lift to the minds, hearts of the city and its citizens

The winners are obvious, again aligned with the 1% theme at the cost of the majority: 99%. Are the masses so utterly worthless, that DRE can proceed as usual with zero consequences, nor clean up, nor accountability? Who wins here?
