Assuming an EFM takes control of the City of Detroit, what actions do you think he/she will take?

Here is my guess:

Eliminate city council salaries, bodyguards, vehicles

Eliminate city council staff

Layoff 1/3 of employees

Offer Water/Sewer system for sale or create a Water/Sewer Authority with all jurisdictions participating in control of authority

Split off City Airport into a separate entity, sale?

Reduce pensions for existing employees from now on

Reduce current city employees salaries

Reduce current city employees health care benefits

Reduce pension payments to retired employees?

Privatize garbage collection

Eliminate or Reduce Detroit Legal Department

Merge Police and Fire operations?
