A recent year-in-review bit on CNNMoney.com had listed some of the dumbest business moves of 2009.

Of course, the automotive crash this year highlighted the top, but Pontiac was included in the listing for its sale of the Silverdome.

They noted that the city only received 1 percent of what was paid to build the dome and buy the property.

Ouch.

It's one thing to make a mistake, it's another make a big enough mistake to get noticed across the country.

But seven years of political inaction made them ripe for the taking and someone took them.
