We Will Fight Emergency Financial Management!


We need Detroit to stand up and fight back - the proclaimed financial problems have been contrived by a financial review team bent on discovery of an emergency. The issues discovered reveal weakness in the administration of the city - the mayor has not requested funds that are due to the city. However Mayor Bing is obeying the direction set forth by Governor Rick Snyder, the State Treasurer Andy Dillon, and others whom discard the health, well-being, and safety of the people of Detroit.

A press release from the Coalition of Concerned Citizens of Detroit was published yesterday. The text of the release references a press release on February 25 from the Committee to Elect Krystal Crittendon to Mayor of Detroit. Tom Barrow, who is also running for Mayor of Detroit this year has also been published. We are finding the sea of candidates seeking office in Detroit are growing to see the falsehood which the State of Michigan continues to spread through the mainstream media.

Detroit has no financial crisis - it has a crisis in how it is represented by the Mayor, the State, and the various review and advisory boards/teams created by these people. Taxpayers don't appreciate having dollars spent on extra layers of government and failed oversight into mismanagement.

As City Council member JoAnn Watson said yesterday and previously ‘The State is reviewing the progress of the State, the failings they are finding are failings in how they are managing things.’ It seems to be a position other council members are picking up as well.
