Emergency Financial Manager for Detroit

[Hermod]

It's one thing to have a receivership... it's another to force people from office without cause. "Most" of our constitution does still protect us from these people and their ilk...

Not forced out of office. Just having them and their bloated staffs defunded. New pay for council is $100 per meeting. All staff positions are defunded and incumbent council staff terminated. Council can vote laws up a storm, but will have zero authority over the budget.

Unless the law specifically mentions specific tasks... all you're doing is coming up with "potential" scenarios.... hell anyone can do that...

Maybe they'll fire all the meter maids and make roadside downtown parking free!!!

Read the bill for specific failures that trigger the financial manager. These are quite lengthy, and I guess that there has been an amendment offered since the bill was read a second time. No info on that amendment, H2 has been forthcoming, although I have read that the election ban has been decreased to six years.
