Robert Bobb and Dave Bing are true democrats but they appear to be fairly pragmatic despite a few typical democrat departures from reality. Detroit could do a whole lot worse.

One of Bobbs first acts was to stop mailing paychecks to post office boxes. He found something like 200 non existent employees.

———they appear to be fairly pragmatic-——

Pragmatism requires rational thought. The implication is that there are rational liberals in Deeetroit.

I doubt it

A few years ago, millions of children in the United States vanished overnight. It wasn’t even a blip on the news. Nobody launched an investigation. What happened was, the IRS required filers to provide their dependant’s Social Security numbers. I think the number was 30,000,000.

They should do that with the Detroit public school employees. See how many "employees" are no-show scams. Send people to actually do surprise visits to schools and verify that each "teacher" actually is really there in front of a classroom.
