Hockey arena approved for "broke" Detroit

This story proves it's time for Detroit's Republican-appointed emergency mangler to pipe down about how the city can't pay workers' pensions.

As Michigan's GOP administration tries filing bankruptcy for Detroit so it doesn't have to pay workers, the same administration has now approved the city spending almost $300,000,000 in tax money on a new arena for the Detroit Red Wings.

The Republicans can't pay workers, but they can buy a hockey team a new arena?
