LA Times story on Detroit's Crisis

[daddeeo]

Scott makes a lot of sense. However, geting everyone on board is a bear and probably impossible. They have been trying for years just to get the bus system regionalized.
People don't always act rationally even when a crisis is at hand. They go with what feels comfortable. Getting out of their comfort zone [[past prejudice etc.) is a lot to expect.
I don't see vast changes for another generation and only if a New York broken windows policy is implimented. Saftey is a top priority.

to what degree does Michigan's Home Rule laws restrict efforts to regionalize different services or local governments?

"to what degree does Michigan's Home Rule laws restrict efforts to regionalize different services or local governments?"

Home Rule law works both ways. It allows home rule communities to choose whether to regionalize services or not. There's nothing that prohibits services from being regionalized. But it requires the local communities to opt into those regionalized services.
