But the EFM won't be forever. Some Detroiters I know are absolutely convinced that we'll have an EFM until demographics are such that there is a non-black mayor and an integrated city council. Since I don't believe in the Great White Conspiracy, I'm not convinced.
I doubt Detroit will actually get an EFM. The suburbs already have control over Cobo Hall and the Water Department. There isn't much left for them to seize. Therefore, there won't be an EFM.
