I have no particular love for Detroit's new interim Mayor, Ken Cockrel (I don't know much about him yet) but this seems to me like a politician walking the walk.
I just saw it on TV, and there appears to be no link available yet, but in view of the city's horrendous budget deficit, the mayor, while announcing significant cuts, also announced that he is reducing the Mayor's Office budget by £2m, and will also take a personal salary cut of 20%.
I'll be interested to see the fine print but, on the face of it, this sounds like leading by example.
