I'd image they secured permissions to build it before they started accepting donations. | ||

I'd image they secured permissions to build it before they started accepting donations. Actually, they did start collecting donations before it was ok'ed. Mayor Bing has already said there are no plans to build the statue. My point was that just because its private money doesn't mean they can put up a statue in a city that they don't live in =/. After all, They aren't the ones who will be looking at it, we will. also: the people of Detroit are not necessarily in favor of it, there is a lively debate going on in our city right now. | ||

That being the case, I can imagine how local people see it as being an eye sore. Not everyone is a fan of sci-fi heroes. | ||

Yeah , im sure 50,000 will help Detroit ALOT..... Maybe instead of bailing out the banksters with 700Billion if that money had been invested in world class R&D and manufacturing facilities in Detroit? 50,000 for a statue is irrelevant. | ||
