"The simple fact is Detroit is in a financial crisis.  The city is insolvent and has been borrowing money to pay its bills for nearly a decade. Bankruptcy is the only feasible option to fix the city's finances and do what is right for the 700,000 people of Detroit," Snyder said.

You mean to tell me that Snyder selecting former House Speaker Andy Dillon, a Democrat (Miles Handy's buddy), as his Treasurer, that the Governerd was somehow unaware of Detoilet's position from day one?

The odds of that politically happening.

Somewhere between "Jack" and "Squatt".

Don't forget, at that time you had:

The Kwamster being a player. Living large on the public dime.

Conyers was on the take.

The majority of Detroit CC, with the notable exception of Cockrels, being unable to think their own way out of a wet paper bag.

A majority of members in Lansing with a "-d" after their name.
