Good news the Union Goons lose!
Ford should just buy the place for pennies on the dollar, and kick everyone out.
And forbidding black democrats from ever holding any public office in the city for the next 75 years. They have proven themselves incapable of self governance.
Sell it all to Matty Moroun.
He already owns most of it anyway.
Let’s turn the city over to the cockroaches, they’ll do a better job running it than any human has for the past 50 years.
This is good news for Michigan, although I am usually against bankruptcy. In this case, however, the unions have a stranglehold on the city of Detroit and they are in conflict with its non-state and city employed residents.
“... to provide the quality of city services the people of Detroit deserve.”
LOL I’d think that was the LAST thing they’d want!
Conservatism and free marketeering can save Detroit and America. Michelle Malkin was saying earlier today that the message of conservatism needs to be taken to Detroit.
As far as being the biggest city to go bankrupt, I doubt that record will stand for long.
IIRC, Michigan's Constitutional provision never did apply to this situation nor was it intended to. If that is the case, the New York Slimes is up to its same old liberal lying tricks.
Would be interested to read some knowledgeable comments on the state constitutional aspect.
“The only hope to resurrect Detroit will have to come from private investors with carte blanc powers. “
It does not matter what the courts or the city does. Detroit is doomed. The reason to have cities is that there were lots of employers. What employer will move there? Why would they move there? What would they produce? What is their incentive to move there?
Cities are no longer needed. They are a relic of the past. Liberals try to force us to move into them by making fuel costs high and limiting how much we can drive. But no matter what they do there is no reason for us to move back to the cities with their attendant problems like drugs, bad schools and high crime.
seriously, take all the illegal aliens they want to give amnesty to, and make them move to Detroit in order to get amnesty. Or give it to the Canadians.
The laugh of the article was this: “They’ll lose their health insurance” ...... which I found quite ironic because they can have Obamacare.
Ain’t gonna do a thing for them.
That joint is cooked...who’s going to be building up new businesses there?
CommieCare Navigators?
I shall call this city....Reaganville.
Detroit’s bankruptcy ruling clears the deck for Chicago’s. Chicago is in the same boat as Detroit, except not as far along. There are a lot of folks in this state that want to see these greedy public employee unions get theirs after the repeated financial rape of the taxpayers.
