Flint Contemplates Shutting Down Some Neighborhoods
www.publicbroadcasting.net...
ANN ARBOR, MI (2009-03-18)
Nearly a third of the homes in Flint have been abandoned. Some Flint officials say it's time to consider shutting down parts of the shrinking city. Interim Mayor Mike Brown said last week the city might have to consider shutting down depopulated neighborhoods. His spokesperson later stressed the remark was hypothetical. But Dan Kildee says it's time to seriously consider it. He runs the County Land Bank, which tears down blighted houses in Flint. Kildee says the city just can't afford to provide public services for its large, underpopulated footprint. sustainable part of Flint.

Layoffs are causing tension everywhere now. The manager of a 3M plant in France was held hostage by angry workers for more than a day this week after it was announced that 110 of the 235 employees at the plant would be let go.
According to U.S. Department of Labor data released Friday, seven states are now enduring double-digit unemployment. In California, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island and South Carolina between 10.1% and 12% are out of work. (Highlights of the week's activity are recorded by the Forbes.com Layoff Tracker, which counts the layoffs at all the nation's 500 largest corporations.)
