Intriguing headline from the Detroit News today about Mike Duggan potentially running for mayor: http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20120429/OPINION03/204290307/0
I hope the City is ready for a qualified leader of any color to be mayor, though I am not sure it is quite there yet. Duggan may not be the best person for the job after Bing leaves, but if he is, race shouldn't be a reason not to elect him. The US has a black president...it would be interesting, and until now, a bit unfathomable, for Detroit to have a white mayor.
