Have to feel for Detroit.. First it was Unions then it was bankruptcy then it was Demoncrats destroying the city.. AND now it is pestilence The only worse thing would be for the DNC to move its convention there

The union representing Detroit's bus drivers has reportedly asked
local lawmakers to put pressure on the transit agency to help stop the
spread of bedbugs on buses.

The Detroit News reports that roughly 50 Detroit Department of
Transportation (DDOT) drivers have said they've seen bedbugs on buses,
and some have been bitten within the past year, according to Henry
Gaffney, president of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 26.

After receiving a letter from Gaffney in May, DDOT chief executive
Ron Freeland said Thursday he asked a maintenance crew to investigate
and sent a letter to the union later that month saying any infested bus
would be cleaned.

The amount of bedbugs the crew has found so far in the cleaning
process isn't unusual for a service with an average of 100,000 riders
each day, Freeland told the newspaper.

"I, personally, am not aware of any widespread problem," he said. "Where we do have problems, we are in fact dealing with it."

Any buses reported to have bedbugs will be cleaned and fumigated,
Freeland said. If that doesn't kill them, the maintenance crew can put
the vehicle in a paint booth and kill the bugs with heat.

Gaffney, however, said DDOT officials should be taking preventive
measures by treating all of the agency's terminals and coaches.

"If this continues to get bad, you can't force anybody to work in
those types of conditions," Gaffney told the newspaper. "It's not fair
to the citizens either. Somebody's got to care somewhere in this city."
