No. #1 for me is the corruption and negligence in city hall/WPD. Its pretty bad. This city absolutely excels at losing millions in lawsuits because of it.
Holden sewer dispute - $14 million (2022 - lost bc city didn’t follow existing agreement w/Holden)
Sky bridge suit - $12.5 million (settlement 2018, lost bc city didn’t abide their promise to build the bridge from major Taylor garage to Hilton Garden inn)
Public records suit - $100k (2022, city got reamed by the judge for illegally withholding police records)
Various police misconduct suits - at least $12 million since 2010 (there are still several pending cases)
