There is a certain elected official that needs to be slapped! ".....ultimate decision decided by the commission."

Yes, look what Berkley and Waterford are doing? Look what Troy has? Look what Rochester, Rochester Hills, and Oakland Twp. did when they pooled their resources?
And what does Royal Oak drool over? A medical office building and a park. And apartments, apartments, apartments!!!!! Bleek!
