Bodies piling up in Detroit

The United Kingdom's Times Online is reporting that bodies are literally piling up, unclaimed, in Detroit's city morgues.

From TimesOnline dot co dot uk

The abandoned corpses, in white body bags with number tags tied to each toe, lie one above the other on steel racks inside a giant freezer in Detroit's central mortuary, like discarded shoes in the back of a wardrobe.
Some have lain here for years, but in recent months the number of unclaimed bodies has reached a record high. For in this city that once symbolised the American Dream many cannot even afford to bury their dead.

Hmmm, what happened to all of that Obama Money?

God help us!

sad.

The politicians who have a death grip on that area haven't even proposed something crazy like major tax/fees/fine relief exclusively for that area. Just more publicly funded programs. If they would just look and study all sides the people could see what works. Yet they're denied even an education but DPS sucks in most of the money.

Businesses could be offered (none / 0) (#2)

a tax break for hiring and another tax break for offering a burial bonus.

Growing business so businesses can hire people. Hmm, might even be good for the MI economy.

Looks like all the extra Detroit voters (none / 0) (#3)

Old news. This gets recycled every few weeks I see, this time by the Times Online. This was news in Detroit over the summer:

So we now know where all those extra Detroit voters are.
