Statement from State Representative Shanelle Jackson (D-Detroit) on Governor Snyder's expected request for a financial review of Detroit:
“I am disheartened that Governor Snyder is expected to call for a financial review of the City of Detroit, the first step in the process of appointing an unelected emergency financial manager. Detroit may be in very serious financial trouble, but Detroit’s local government officials, and not the Governor, need to make the tough decisions that will right our city. Democratically-elected government officials, workers, and stakeholders have the obligation to come to the table and make the necessary concessions to put Detroit on the right track and to keep control of our city. If the Governor does call for a financial review, as is being reported in the press, then I hope that while this review is happening the Governor will still encourage Detroit officials to work together and agree on a plan that will make the needed changes to avoid an emergency financial manager. I love my city and I offer my assistance to work with my colleagues in local government to keep control of our city.”
Please let me know how I can be of assistance to you so that together, we can continue to make progress in our community.
