Anyone planning a business or expansion in Ann Arbor please note: Mr. Detter has spoken.

The project sets a bad precedent, she said, adding that “it’s opening a big door that hopefully we can shut after this application.””

If there is any city group that makes threats a regular part of the approval process it’s the HDC. It’s people like this who have no place on the board.
