DETROIT: Enough already...



I have been avoiding writing about Detroit’s dance with bankruptcy because the whole matter just pisses me off… it no longer is an issue involving governments or even responsible adults; it has come down to a level of absurdity that cries out for someone, anyone, to take control of this game of fools.

A consent decree was reached between the state and the city which mandated immediate action by a board appointed by all parties involved. The city council cannot seem to find a black candidate to the board that is capable and actually willing to do the council’s bidding.

Now the city attorney has filed a frivolous lawsuit against the state blocking the already agreed to consent decree and this with the mayor’s blessing as the city runs out of money and will be forced into bankruptcy.

Many have told the governor that he has been way too accommodating to the idiots in Detroit and should have either appointed an emergency manager or let them go bankrupt BUT the governor, with an eye to his record in history books, wants to actually fix Detroit in a way pleasing to all parties…not gonna happen!!!

So now the headline in the Detroit Free Press reads: STATE TO PLAY HARDBALL WITH DETROIT…really?

Seems the state will withhold money owed to Detroit if the lawsuit is not dropped and the consent agreement is not immediately implemented.

Mayor Bing is already in the news screaming that Detroit will run out of money next week…good…what the fuck did he expect to happen.

Our governor has the patients of JOB and I guess that is admirable but he is driving the rest of us crazy with his kind patience…
