Has anyone done an in-depth analysis of Proposal P?

[Dumpling]

I looked at several snippets in that report and do like the
clause whereby the corporation counsel is jointly appointed
by the City Council and the mayor as opposed to being
solely a mayoral appointee. I am comfortable with the
notion of the corporation counsel not being particularly
beholden to anyone. They will need of course to uphold
the laws to the extent possible.

If you can make a solid case that all of the extra employees
mandated by this charter are going to cost so much that the
trash pickup and police response will be noticeably worse and
that pension payments to existing pensioners will be cut in
half, then I might consider voting "NO" on P.

The case is not solid. The Citizens Research Council has Nick
Khouri serving on it. He served under Gov. Rick Snyder at the
time of the City of Detroit bankruptcy with a goal of maximizing
lean government, not just in Detroit, but beyond.
Don't get me started - but, the United States Post Office,
the Unemployment Agency, the Secretary of State's offices....I am
so not happy about "improvements" to all of those.

One of the many so-called improvements put in place
under Chief Craig as head of the police department
and Nick Khouri in the Michigan Treasury at the time
of the City of Detroit bankruptcy was to hire NPO's
as "at will" employees.

That's still the case so far as I know. Neighborhood
Police Officers, along with all of the other problems
they may deal with, along with relatively low pay,
remain "at will" employees.
