Unless the EFM (emergency financial manager) can tear up ALL the public union contracts and make the insane public union pension plans null/void...
There is no saving Detroit.

And Obama screwed them leaving republicans to make the deals that are bringing private money to Detroit.

>>> There is no saving Detroit.
You are absolutely right.
“The review team found Detroits cash-flow deficit is nearly $100 million. Thats on top of an accumulated deficit of $327 million. The city also has $14.9 billion worth of unfunded pension and employment retirement liabilities, according to the review team report. In five years, it needs $1.9 billion to begin making payments on the debt.”
The same situation no doubt repeated (repeating) elsewhere, Philly, Chicago being one of those.

Why in the world does the governor want to take over the financial management of Detroit?!
That's like wishing for a root canal!

The taxpayers of Michigan outside of Detroit must just love having to pay for this.

Said (mayor) Bing on Friday, The governor has made his decision, and it was his decision alone to make. While I respect it, I have said all along that I do not favor an emergency Manager for the City of Detroit. Does this mean the incompetents who ran the place into the ground would 'just prefer cash'? How charming.

What’s needed is a ban on deficit spending. Borrowing can only be justified for capital projects where the asset outlasts the term of the loan.
FWIW up here it’s illegal for cities to run deficits.
