IMO the state should be left holding the bag. Its pro sprawl policies along with the Feds led to the draining of Highland Park's population and tax-generating ability.

The dwindling few who stuck it out are strapped with impossible legacy debts not only with water [which is just sewage I believe as HP has its own water system] not to mention pensions doled out generously by and to people who left long ago. They should be rewarded, not punished.
Well... Those policies are the only reason Highland Park exists as an autonomous city now. Detroit should agree to absorb Highland Park only as part of a change in how cities in Michigan are allowed to incorporate and when they are forced to merge.
