Detroit spends money wisely

Read the original here.

My Fox Detroit:
DDOT Directors Driving Shiny New Hybrid SUVs

“I think we bought 6 or 7 with your funding to test the hyrbid technology” says DDOT Director Lovette Williams. The City of Detroit has been forced to slash budgets and lay off workers, but DDOT directors are riding in style

Dealing with budget shortfalls, cuts to the Detroit Department of Transportation include laying off bus drivers, mechanics and cutting bus routes.

How is it then that DDOT directors get to drive home brand new hybrid SUV’s and have the insurance and gas paid for them?

How is that DDOT employees 1300 people, but only 700 of them are drivers or mechanics, what do the rest of the employees do?
