Lunch Spots; Wayne County Transit; Downtown Tax? (Live from the Detroit Policy Conference)

Show notes

Devon, Norris, and Jer tackle three topics live at the Detroit Policy Conference. First, we get into lunch spots we like and are disappointed by recently.

Then, there's a proposal to provide transit to all of the cities in Wayne County, as currently a number of communities have no connecting service. We talk about how this is the base layer to the cake of transit.

Then, there's some ideas around overhauling the city of Detroit's tax structure, including a possible excise tax in greater downtown to provide more money for the neighborhoods.

Today's show was recorded live at the Detroit Policy Conference put on by the Detroit Regional Chamber. Listen on Apple Podcasts.
