This is a common mistake.
The EFM worked just fine in Hamtramck.
It got them out of their immediate financial trouble.
The fact that they got back into financial trouble isn't a failure of the EFM.
There seems to be a recurring theme that EFM's don't work. They seem to work fine on finances.
btw, see today's article on MLive on EFM... here's a hidden among the usual suspects [[politicians, union leaders) screaming about the end of democratic process. Sample: [[Pontiac, under emergency management for several years, recently boasted bond rating upgrades.) see: http://www.mlive.com/news/detroit/in..._river_default
Long-term fixing the rest of the city rests with the mayor and council -- the elected folks -- to work on this rather than fighting EFMs to keep their power. The EFM is not a fix. Just triage.
