What are we going to do when ALL the property tax revenues and local sales taxes go to PAY THE PENSIONS OF RETIRED “PUBLIC” EMPLOYEES??

As I understand Detwaa's situation, even though Orr is trying to find a way to solvency ( the Pensions ) or re-negoiate them, by State Law the ultimate responsibilty for these reside with the State of Michigan. Which is unfair in a way, for 50 years they have been the drunken sailor, and everyone else will potentially get the hangover.

Hopefully not...

That’s why I say we’ve got to fix it even though we didn’t break it.

Fortunately things are moving in the right direction with a lot of quiet growth.

The Socialist Workers seem to think that if Detroit goes into bankruptcy, that the public employees’ pensions could be sacrificed:
