This will be an interesting battle. An outside analysis firm says the Detroit city water dept. Needs about 400 employees to make it run efficiently. It currently has 2000. Also the water Dept. has some 250 job classifications(apparently including "horse shoer"), and the analysis team said it needs only about 40. Me , personally I am very pessimistic about Detroit being able to turn it around. In the words of Corporal Hicks from the movie "Aliens" :
"I say we nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure"
