Always look on the bright side

Background: For some reason, mayors always have their name painted on the Detroit Zoo water tower. I find it to be a waste of money and an example of politicians who believe they are icons deserving of our undying respect.

Originally I was upset over the voter-approved tax increase for the Detroit Zoo. Just another tax on overburdened Michigan residents. However I’ve come to accept it by believing that my portion will go towards removing Kwame Kilpatrick’s name from the water tower.
