Government abuse is onesided and i think theyre a couple of reasons for that. Look when i started this, i care about free speech and the first amendment. Im a libertarian when it comes to this and i dont think, i have no allegiance to one party or the other or that went into this and i had written a lot about the left for my column in the wall street journal that i assumed going and i would find a whole bunch of stuff on the right. I didnt. We are filming on the fourth floor of city hall and its right on the sinclair river, probably the most Eastern Point of michigan. The city of port huron the population is around 30,000 people which has decreased. At one time back many years ago, probably back in the 60s it would have been more, closer to the 40s by this economic changes and industry changes and that type of thing, it has decreased over the years and demographically, you know we probably have an assortment of all different types of people but i would call it a little bit on the distressed side. We do have, because we have the county seat via have a lot of social services and things like that so we dont have maybe the most stable population. A kind of comes and it goes, that kind of thing and economically probably not the highest income so its kind of a Broad Spectrum of lower to upper income but its a very Nice Community to live in a nice place to raise your family. Its just we have a whole lot of Different Things going on. The im planet. In michigan is higher than in the country and higher in this area. Has gone down but it has not gone down the same. We are always a little bit higher than north of the county. Michigan is traditionally. We have had a lot of improvements over the last couple of years. Everybody suffered in 2008 when the economy tanked and we are all kind of crawling out of that but it has taken longer for us to crawl out of bed it. We have some wonderful things that are happening right now here so im very proud of that. Right now there has been an adjusted our downtown area. A lot of downtowns of failed in the last year and everybody moved out of that type of thing and now the malls are not doing so well but our town downtown is revitalized. We have a lot of new businesses downtown and a lot of new restaurants and bars and Quaint Stores and no Big Department store or anything like that. We are getting more loft apartments. We have so many that they have waiting lists and the two separate contractors right now are building more lofts downtown and thats good because the loft is mostly the younger professionals and that is what you are looking for to get the younger people to come back here and the jobs to come back here. Thats what we have been working on and we been successful in that matter. We also have right where im standing right now the river and the property which held our ymca and was sold to her city a few years ago and was demolished in the property was made development ready. We sold the property to a developer and they theyre going to put highrise condos there. I think they havent decided on the exact plan yet and we are still in the stages of working on the plan but that should be started or the first of the year at the latest and thats probably going to be four to five stories high. This is really going to bring a lot of people in town too. That is what we are looking for, kind of reinventing ourselves as more of a place to come to not only fewer younger but for retirement and getting people to live in the downtown area has been very much a part of that. I think one of the key parts of our history of horse is we are celebrating and we have celebrated and in 2007 are sesquicentennial. I dont know if theres any one particular story but we are very proud of the white house and the fact that people can visit and walk up to the top and look out on lake huron. It was back in the day you had shipping around this area and logging in things like that and obviously not today but its a very strong part of our heritage. The bridge of courses i said earlier connects us with ontario in canada and that was built in 1938. That was to be able, before that you had to take a ferry if you are going across and thats a cumbersome way to travel back and forth. In the commerce, the amount of commerce that they get from canada to the United States is astronomical. Thats a lot of it goes through port huron but a lot of people come from canada to shop and its a big part of the success of the businesses in the area, not just the city of port huron but this rounding area so its important for congress. That lasted up until the 90s and in i think it was 1997 the second bridge. You can still, they are packed to both sides back and forth all the way across the bridge. You can tell that its very much doing its job. I think in the future port huron is only going to get better. I really do see a lot of interest from investors on the other side. Thats one of the reasons we ended up with the refurbishment of what used to be known as the Thomas Edison inn and is now a double train restaurant combined they are. That was on the west side of the strait state. So is the hotel going downtown on the west side of the state couldnt think we are getting more notice from other places. A lot of times people didnt know it created they thought it was just a small little town up there by the bridge. When you drive through and i think we are getting a better reputation and its definitely worth coming here. Its worth seeing the parks and beaches in the history we have and the people are friendly and we have nice places to go so i think that we are going to have a resurgence even more than we have now of our downtown and other businesses coming in. Im looking forward to good things happening. Elizabeth greenwood talks about the fraud industry and why some people take their own death in the book, playing dead.
