Impact to the City
The Inspector General (sec 7.5.1) and Corporation Counsel (sec 7.5.2) were removed from the Executive branch in the January 2012 revision. This will prove to be a thorn in Mayor Bing's side because both of these sections of government are given autonomy and oversight of the whole city government. We have already seen the Mayor's attorneys influencing State of Michigan Claims Court in the case brought June 13.
Corporation Counsel brought case in Claims Court to verify the course of law through section 2-113 indicating the State of Michigan with debts due the city would not be able to enter into the Financial Stability Agreement (Consent Agreement).
Jobs
Stalling on Green Initiatives and Sustainable Technologies (GIST) Plan is one way the current administration has denied jobs in addition to eliminating jobs. Changes to bus schedules in March wiped out off-shift work opportunities for Detroiters.
Lets talk about basics and how they haven't been a priority.
