This is like watching a husband and wife bicker over whether they should give up their premium cable while their house is being foreclosed on and their car is repossessed. I get that it looks bad to have people getting raises or Councilmembers having perks like cars while the city's going down the tubes. But none of that really matters now and even if Charles Pugh gave up his entire salary and all the perks, the city is still going to be facing bankruptcy or an EFM and there are still going to be massive layoffs or massive rollbacks in pay and benefits for Detroit police and fire. But if you want to pretend that cutting the cable will save your home and car, continue to indulge yourself in that fantasy.
