In recent news, a judge has granted the Detroit the ability to declare bankruptcy. This, to me, is the least of the worries for Detroit. In the article I read it talks about all of the issues arising due to the lack of funding and money in Detroit. Many of the basic necessities for the city are out of date and city workers such as police and fireman are suffering. In the article it describes how the police drive old cars with no computers, holes in the floor, no air conditioning, and wear bullet proof vests that are out of date. Next, the article discusses how a building caught on fire and the roof collapses, trapping a fire fighter in the building. His tracking device, which was out of date, did not work correctly, making it impossible to find him. He would pass away as the building burned to the ground. The lack of money in Detroit is placing workers and citizens in harms way. I think that the Art reserve must be sold off to raise money. To me this idea of trying to save the art is crazy when things such as fire fighters dying unnecessarily. Something must be done to fix these pressing issues. I think at some point the federal government may need to step in as the citizens of are suffering. At one point emergency response went out for 15 hours. Many citizens could be placed in harms way and a change must be made as the current government in place in Detroit has clearly been careless and ruined the city.
