As Fiscal Policy
Director Michael LaFaive wrote on our blog soon
after the announcement,
Detroit’s bankruptcy “should never have come to pass.”
Some 13 years ago
LaFaive wrote about specific recommendations
for Detroit that would have
saved the city more than $200 million
a year and generated a windfall of
$2.4 billion from the sale
of assets and an additional $15 million
annually from
the sale of just two properties.
Below are links to several
analyses and commentaries
Mackinac Center experts have written about
Detroit’s situation over the years.
