Flint, MI
1. General Motors left taking our entire tax base with them\
2. The city council let GM leave and didn't replace the tax base. Now we have so much fighting within city council and the mayor's office, it's making us look like a joke. The state took over last year and ran our finances and now the idiots in this city elected a former criminal to the mayor's office.
3. Everyone associates us with Michael Moore
The good thing is I don't actually live in Flint. I live just outside of it where there is great economical growth and plenty of nice places to live. Despite the fact Flint is a shithole, the rest of the county seems to be doing OK.
The bad thing is that I work for the City of Flint.
