The carve outs for the Detroit Bankruptcy were the Detroit Institute of Arts, The Water Dept. & I think Dept of Ed / their Pension if my memory is correct.
The D.I.A. they took care of, no art sold at auction, The Water Dept is too hard for me to wrap my head around. But Education was supposed to be resolved, with MI as a state helping to put money into it, but they are something like 3.5 billion in debt.
I think you are right, they probably thumbed their noses at all of us and paid it out as pension liability payments and the truth and transparency be damned...
If so, don't come to me for a bail out, you are done...
The REALLY TERRIBLE thing about this IS the kids NEVER stand a chance of getting out of these RAT HOLES!!! THESE BASTARDS continue to keep these kids in squalor while they line their OWN POCKETS I am so sick to death of the corruption in ALL LEVELS of government WHY don’t these black neighborhoods WAKE THE HELL UP????
