What a story!The Super Bowl was during the transition period from McNamara's Regime to Ficano's and the surprising, but from hindsight, understandable, resignation of Niemic from the Freep to join Ficano's effort to clean up Wayne County as Assistant to the new Inspector General. Poor Niemic, such a waste of great talent. Also, such a total loss for the Freep and its readers when your investigative and journalistic talents were stonewalled and buried under their bureaucratic hypocracies (note the plural indicated deliberately). Paul Anger today is being honored as the Editor of the Year for exposing corrupt government. Am I missing something here? He was responsible for putting the kabosh on many/much of the stories/investigations regarding Detroit/Wayne County government because it was considered too implausible to believe. Well, as the stories continue to unfold, I do not believe anyone can consider any corrupt infrastructure in Detroit/Wayne County "implausible". I know my "off-the-wall" status that has dogged me at the Freep. I don't want to rub in the "I told you so" theme; however, it speaks for itself...doesn't it? Keep going JOTR. We are paying attention. This rendition of what went down the pike with you and Niemic surpasses everything that I could have ever speculated.
