An emergency manager will toss out union contracts and fire union members.
If Dave Bing were in better health I would just make him emergency manager and avoid most of the fight. He’s a democrat but has shown that he’s not afraid of taking on the unions.
Didn’t know Bing was in bad health. Too bad, he seems to care about Detroit, unlike any other Mayor in my lifetime, and that’s going back half a century. Had some good cousins who grew up there, my Uncle was a very successful businessman, but they moved the business to Florida in the 70’s when it was clear white boys weren’t welcome in Detroit any more.

That poor b&&$^$%^. He really tried, at an age where he could have retired to a very happy and comfortable life. He had his heart in the right place, but the problems were insurmountable.
