The city is broke. That seems clear enough i suppose. I would like to know why. Is it a lack of tax revenue? Is the city trying to be bigger than it needs to be [[city employees)? Is it corruption? I have questions and no answers. I realize that a lot of Detroit residents are at or below the poverty line. Receiving assistance. Are they not paying property taxes? Im asking because i dont know. If the city was firing on all possible cylinders would it still be in the red?
