No More Detroit?

Detroit could be wiped off the map.
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.

More bad news...the bond rating keeps getting cut. 

And the Packard plant could be seized.

Next year, I believe, is a mayoral election. Dave Bing is a goner. I'm not sure what the city can do to find new leadership, other than let Governor Snyder appoint a mayor and all new city council. Anyone and everyone he'd pick would be better options than the inept leadership the city is stuck with.

But again, elections have consequences. And if the voters want these incompetent hacks running things, go for it. But accept the fact that the city is unsustainable in its current incarnation.
