The Mayor: You got business with the Mayor? Maybe his secretary can find you a few minutes. He's a busy guy, though - do get to the point.

Real Estate: A good number of the major deals of Detroit's history have this guy's fingerprints in them. Very little redevelopment happens in Detroit that he isn't aware of.

Measure 2: The Michigan Emergency Manager has largely stripped the Mayor's office of it's official capacity as 'in charge of Detroit,' but Jones has made his position on Measure 2 quite clear: he hates it. "It's the wrong call, for the wrong problem. Shuffling the folks around won't heal this city. We've got to address the deep, systemic problems in this city's economy."
