From what I read and know about former Mayor Bing he could have really transformed Detroit. But no one person in the Mayoral position can do anything to change Detroit because you have to deal with the regressive Detroit City Council. Free stuff is all they care about. Detroit needs a dictator.

People should have voted for Snyder's original emergency manager plan which would have given the manager the power to fire city council members.
