Column: Trashing GE will hurt Detroit

Before leaving office, Gov. Jennifer Granholm helped recruit corporate mammoth General Electric to hold its 2012 annual meeting in downtown Detroit.

Her hope was that the high-rolling investors who make up GE's shareholder base would get a chance to see first-hand the city's potential.

But with the meeting set to convene Wednesday in the Renaissance Center, there's a real risk those investors will witness instead a confirmation that Metro Detroit is ground zero for the destructive war against wealth and business.

Groups tied to the Occupy Wall Street movement and the United Auto Workers' 99% Spring action SWAT team have been recruiting protesters to stage an anti-World Trade Organization-style protest in the streets around the RenCen.
