There was an uproar over Bing's emerging plan to relocate residents - the weekly Michigan Citizen likened it to a "modern day 'Trail of Tears' for Detroiters" - and an equally unfavorable response to Bobb's $81,000 raise in the second year of his contract, most of which is paid for by foundation money.
