after workers and retirees voted in favor of major pension changes

A vote to eat is no vote at all - this is the Democrat strategy whether the subject is union types, welfare queens or illegal parasites.

The money would prevent the sale of city-owned art

If this is what they are worried about with an $18 billion debt load, they are still not serious about getting the city back on its feet.

I believe I read that they had voted a roughly 5% or so cut in their pensions. I cannot believe that such a low cut would enable the city to climb out of its massive liberal induced debt. Something smells very Obamay/Clintony there.

After all, math is most definitely not the friend of any progressive.

However, I also feel for the pensioners...but do not really know what to do in order to help.

In my opinion, the state made a bad move backstopping Detroit. Are they going to do the same for Grand Rapids or Saginaw when those cities go bankrupt?

Unions back pension cuts.
