So detroit is set to have an Emergency Manager placed by the state on march 27th. This Manager will have all the authority of the city government. The state is, for all intents and purposes, appointing a king to the largest city in the United States.
Detroit is still suffering financial troubles. They have a $14 billion long term debt with a $327 million deficit. The city is indeed in need of many taxing and spending adjustments. Some see detroit as a microcosm for the country. The Emergency Manager will have absolute power to make any changes he/she sees fit. The people of detroit have no say in what happens.
I ask my fellow LPSG members (especially any in detroit) for your opinion on this move by the state.
