Why Detroit's lights went out, and how the city plans to get them back on

Why Detroit's lights went out, and how the city plans to get them back on | Detroit Free Press | freep.com: "The thousands of inoperable streetlights in the city and miles of darkened neighborhoods and thoroughfares are some of the most visible emblems of Detroit’s mismanagement and decades-long decline.
As many as 40% of the city’s 88,000 street and alley lights are estimated to be out. 
That astounding figure, adopted by Detroit emergency manager Kevyn Orr and routinely cited by national and international news media, has led to some comparisons of city services to that of a Third World country."
