This week Authentically Detroit talks power, money, and the impact it has on citizens. 

Journalist Jena Brooker of Bridge Detroit joins Donna and Orlando to discuss a story she wrote about how one of Detroit’s most powerful families has pushed residents out of an east side neighborhood. This week’s Hot Take also comes out of Bridge Detroit and involves license plate readers and the constitutionality of the way Detroit tows cars. 

Finally, the episode ends with a discussion of the city council’s 5-4 vote, expanding funding to ShotSpotter. If you’re interested in reading both articles and learning more about ShotSpotter, click here.
