Jesse Jackson, Calypso Louie, Al Sharpton basically make near a million or more, each, plus their relations as being Black grievance hustlers.
By the way, Detroit has lost one third of its pension due to the collapse and insider investments. Taxes will have to be raised. I’m always curious how a declining population, wealth, pays for increased taxes.
Borrowing, of course, is always popular - junk bond issues.
But they also look to raise other taxes on non-residents.
For example; all residents of Cook County (Chicago) IL, get free health care at Cook County Hospital. No health insurance required. It is funded, at least in part, by huge sales taxes on hotel rooms and restaurant meals in Cook County, funded mainly by tourists.
So, I would look for increased taxes and fees at Detroit Metro Airport, the Casinos, the Auto Show, Sports Venues, and anyplace else they can think of. They could even turn some of their freeways into toll roads, if they haven't done that already.
