| Description | "The mayor of Boston is drawing criticism for recent comments he made about Detroit.
In an interview with the New York Times, Mayor Thomas Menino was asked if he could live in any other city in America other than Boston, where would he choose.
He at first said he’d never thought of living in any other city, but then added: “Detroit is a place I’d love to go.”
When the reporter asked Menino what he’d do in Detroit, the mayor responded: ”I’d blow up the place and start all over.”
In statement out Tuesday, Detroit Mayor Bing called Menino’s comments insensitive.
“It is extremely regrettable that Boston Mayor Thomas Menino used such an unfortunate choice of words to describe what he would do if he came to Detroit. I would think the mayor of a city that recently experienced a deadly bombing attack would be more sensitive and not use the phrase ‘blow up,” said Bing." |
