This reflects unusually sensible decision-making on the part of Michiganders. Given the severe job losses in the state, the last thing we’d want is more babies with un- or under-employed parents.

Detroit’s metro region only includes Wayne county, Warren, & Dearborn and does not include Oakland County. The expanded region actually includes what most people would acknowledge as “Metro Detroit”; Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, and also Washtenaw.

However, w/o Oakland, Macomb, & Washtenaw it very easy to believe. Please check the numbers, accuracy is important.

A good local story article. Another article that is worth repeating from the Freep is the continual decline of the Archdiocese of Detroit…not a great loss.
