Political Factoid

Detroit has become the very
first American city for which
bankruptcy was filed by a
hand-picked agent of the
state governor.*
  • No elected officials of Detroit
    voted for bankruptcy.
     
  • The governor unilaterally threw out
    the elected officials of Detroit and
    put his hand-picked "puppet official"
    in charge of the city finances.
     
  • The governor wants to take away
    the accumulated deferred wages
    (i.e., pensions) of the city workers.
* Gov. Rick Snyder (R-MI)
