It’s like a robber putting the gun to his own head and threatening to shoot if you don’t give him all your money. From their perspective, it’s worked before, so why not?

Sounds as if city council members are upset that they’re not getting their cut of the fee to me. Might not be “legal” because staff legal counsel didn’t draw up the contract, lol?

They’re fighting about something over which they honestly have no control. All they’ve got on their side is guilt and fear of rioting, but the wheels just fell off the guilt wagon so the threat starts to look like what it’s been all along, blackmail.

Ok. What are the effects of bankruptcy?

No schools, no garbage collection, no police protection, no fire protection?

So basically, nothing changes.

The great symbiotic relationship between the unions and city government has proven to be a failure.

Too Big to Fail!

Detriot is a picture postcard of what happens when RATS are allowed free reign.

Coming next: California.

Dave Bing represents the only semblance of sanity in this God forsaken city. Charles Pugh, former newscaster, is a complete buffoon as are the rest of the Council Members. The best thing that could happen here is that they go broke and renegotiate all the city contracts and get people who actually want to work.

[spokeshave]

then those who will suffer most are Detroit’s government employees.

Schadenfreude

(That's Austrian for "self sticking it to the man")

If the city needs a quick ten million the police could raid a few hundred drug stash houses. All the pot seized could be sold to the folks in Colorado now that pot is legal there and the proceeds plus cash seized would easily make ten million.

[ronnie raygun]

If we don’t stop this, there will be nothing left of the city of Detroit
oxymoron from a moron.

In a freak accident all the lawyers at Miller Canfield suffered broken legs or ankles. No longer able to chase ambulances they are going after passive Detroit
