Bulldoze every square inch.Turn it into a museum displaying the evils of Marxist unions and politicians.

"collect their own dues rather than have the state collect them out of the paycheck directly"

I'm shocked. Neither of them has gotten exactly what they want, therefore.

50 years of Democrats in control of the city and this is what you get. They have finally run out of other people’s money. You can’t run a city when the majority of its population are on welfare and expect it to go on forever. And, I was born there.

What are we going to do when ALL the property tax revenues and local sales taxes go to PAY THE PENSIONS OF RETIRED “PUBLIC” EMPLOYEES??

I’ve read lately about a couple of cities where THEY ADMIT they spend more money on retired LE than they do for the current police force!

It’s coming. It’s just a matter of time. Will retired public employees be another part (along with the SNAP people and SS recipients) who are the main parts of the zombie hoards?

[taildragger]

20 different health care plans within the cities governmental apparatus / departments...

Now I know their are also a number of pensions, with the police dept being the most solvent, but they are all underfunded badly.

Call your unions and your democrat leaders.... they’ll kiss your boo boo and make it feel better.

[cripplecreek]

Wait till the gravy train is cut off to much larger cities and then we'll see how bad it can really get. Detroit has already hit rock bottom.

Exhibit A (Detroit)

Results of rule by socialist democrats = Broke and Busted.

No further questions, your Honor.

[Enterprise]

We’re Democrats and we’re broke broke broke!

[Opinionated Blowhard]

If all we did was collect taxes and pay our debt, we couldn’t pay it off in 20 years. That’s the situation that we’re in now.

That is the entire country in a couple decades. Its the end result of the giant Ponzi scheme called the Welfare State. The majority of the population are net takers who expect an ever-dwindling number of "rich" to pay for everything. Eventually the "rich" either flee or collapse under the weight of the burden. And then there are no more suckers to borrow from. So you have a population that is used to screaming "gimme gimme gimme" who no longer has anyone to scream to who will listen. So, like locusts, the population abandons the city and moves on to the next feeding ground where they can vote themselves a government check paid for by "the rich."

Kevyn??

Is that a myn or a womyn?

[SandRat]

Detroit is another Democrat garbage pile, it’s been that way for 50 years.

[Paladin2]

Cut-off all of the staff positions on the City Council.

“unable to borrow more money to mask over debts”

Jeesh, when you find yourself in a deep hole, you should stop digging!
