Considering how cozy Snyder is with Finney and the back history would you feel comfortable with these two in control of Detroit?

After three years in operation, LDFA discovered SPARK had not properly documented some of the hours its workers spent providing services to businesses within the cities of Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti. LDFA commissioned a law firm to conduct an audit of the contract between LDFA and SPARK, a contract in which LDFA provided $872,836.
After the $20,000 audit, the entities agreed SPARK had over billed LDFA by $45,643.75 and under billed it by $22,031.25 for various services. SPARK, which had an annual budget of $2.7 million at the time, agreed to refund $23,612.50 to LDFA, and the dispute was resolved.

But maybe his relatives in Detroit that own a major building company with lots along woodard would prefer the family to be closer anyways.
The others I do not know much about any thoughts?
Would you sign the petition to repeal the emergency manager law?
There is action to repeal the emergency manager law passed by the Republican legislature and signed by Gov. Rick Snyder earlier this year. As many of us know, this law allows the governor to inject steroids into any emergency manager that he appoints thus giving that EM dictatorial powers over any school district or municipality. Using these powers have already been demonstrated by Roy Robers and Joe Harris.
Now, I think many of us understand that when a municipality or a school district is in trouble, then someone from the outside should come in to help straighten things out but to allow them to have the only voice was never the way to go. Dave Bing would love to have these powers because he would be the only voice in Detroit and he wouldn't need to run for reelection because he would be in control of the city through decree of the state. This should never happen. I would sign this petition because too much power is a bad thing. Would you sign it?
