The Motor City
It seems that everyone is trying to bail out the beleaguered city of Detroit. A wealthy hedge fund manager who keeps goats and makes cheese on his farm in Michigan has delivered twenty goats to a blighted neighborhood to munch on the tall grass surrounding the abandoned homes and promote urban farming. But it seems his good intentions were in violation of a city ordinance. The enforcement agency threatened to seize and "ticket" the goats at $500. per head if not gone by yesterday. The head of Animal Control also said he was dealing with wandering peacocks but one would think that a peacock would bring pride to a neighborhood. As for the billys and nannys it's back to the cheese factory.
