Look, even if there were 100 rock solid, indisputable reasons for obstructing the deal...that doesn't put us in a better position to negotiate. For all practical purposes, City Council's role is to be a non-voting voice in the transformation of Detroit. City Council has spoken. And, as you say, they may even be speaking the truth on our behalf.
But that doesn't change the fact that we do not hold any cards. I'm not trying to make anyone suffer. I'm try facing the reality of the situation. We are out of money. No one wants to lend us anymore. One party is willing to co-sign a loan so we can get access to cash.
We have two choices:
- Accept their conditions to get the cash.
- Refuse their conditions and refuse the cash.
