    Quote from Detroit free press:

    (He said he has planned his exit with members of the foundation’s board of trustees for months, but said he wasn’t asked to quit.

    Montgomery said he’s not leaving because there’s a lack of ideas or movement. “In fact, we’re more dynamic than we’ve been at any other time,” he said, adding that change is a good thing. “New leadership helps keep things percolating.”)

    Now exactly who is going to step in his place?  I mean Michigan is like a dead end state.  What possible leader can they find?  If your that damn good its pretty hard to find a successor.
