That’s industry, its public research dollars. If a legislator say tabulate the IRS information the above has a conniption, they make money guessing. Then the AFL-CIO will chime in, with do you really want all of your personal information disclosed to everyone. I am sure a somebody will find away to make it all into a mother huddling in a line for health care with her starving children. The local government knows what the IRS knows, they also collect income taxes. The census is once every ten years and only asks one in five what their household income is. It’s called a long form and then eight years later they guess what has changed, they started with a guess. Detroit has acquired proprietary software, they are tabulating and the statistics are different they have positive growth. It is not directly related to casinos, but evidences does exist that they were catalyst in the cities development. It is poor city as is Cleveland and that is correlated with the African American population. That is entrenched in poverty, but seems like Detroit is moving forward not backwards. http://www.socialcompact.org/pdfs/DetroitPressRelease.pdf If gaming is killing Detroit some body needs to tell them about it.
