"First, declaring a state of emergency is the answer. For years the Kilpatrick administration had been bleeding this city dry, thousands have left the city which means reduced tax revenue is coming into the city coffers, industries have left the region meaning no jobs not only for Detroit but for the region. If this is not a state of emergency, I don't know what is."

Kwame was bleeding the city his first term and everyone knew it and re-elected the idiot again. No bitching about it now. You guys wanted him and you got him. Sorry, no sympathy for that.
