Clarification
An introduction to an article in Thursday’s paper referred to Wayne State Law School Prof. John Mogk’s involvement in advising the City of Detroit. Although Prof. Mogk has been an adviser to the city on urban development initiatives including the Empowerment Zone program, rebuilding Gratiot Central Market, Tiger Stadium Project, housing code enforcement and urban agriculture, he was not an adviser to the city on the Detroit Works Project.
