This Just In: Politicians Smother Cities

From Fox Business News and John Stossel's blog.

"The politicians haven't learned. They still think government is the key to revitalization. While Indianapolis privatized services, Cleveland prefers state capitalism. It owns and operates a big grocery store, the West Side Market. Typical of government, it's open only four days a week, and two of those days it closes at 4 p.m. The city doesn't maintain the market very well. Despite those cost savings, the city manages to lose money running the market. It also loses money running golf courses -- $400,000 last year."

Could this be what happened to Detroit? It certainly sounds like what's going on here with our state-run liquor stores!
