State Senator Proposes Dissolving City Of Detroit
CBS Detroit ^ | November 28, 2012

LANSING (CBS Detroit) - It would no doubt be controversial, but the idea of dissolving the fiscally struggling city of Detroit and absorbing it into Wayne County is being tossed around in Lansing.

WWJ Lansing Bureau Chief Tim Skubick reports some state Republicans are talking about giving the city the option to vote itself into bankruptcy. And mid-Michigan Senator Rick Jones said all options should be considered — including dissolving the city.

“If we have to, that is one idea we have to look at. We really have to look at everything that is on the table,” Jones said. “Again, if this goes to federal bankruptcy, every employee down there will suffer, the city will suffer and the vultures will come in and take the jewels of Detroit and they will be gone.”

Local consultant Tom Watkins has proposed this in the past, but the idea has never played well among Detroiters.

Look at this article. After 51 years of dimocrats creating this situation this dumb, stupid SOB Detroit Mayor Dave Bing states the obvious. DOH! Ya think? Well dumb@ss, it's not just city workers that feel entitled, it's them and your whole ignorant Obama voting city! You will get what you deserve and I will be watching and enjoying the chaos that ensues. Then he throws in a little Agenda 21:

“he wants to convince people in largely abandoned neighborhoods to move to more populated areas so there’s density and a sense of a tight-knit community again, saying, “So we can bring people and families together like it used to be.”

Yeah, well, we'll see how that works for ya.
