Detroit Mayor Dave Bing said Wednesday that the city may run out of cash by February and he may be interested in serving as Emergency Manager if the governor decides to appoint one.
Public Act 4, enacted in March, allows the governor to appoint Emergency Managers with power to break labor contracts, dismiss elected officials, and rearrange municipalities.
In a conversation with the Detroit NewsBing said that he would seriously consider taking the job if the governor asked him to become Emergency Manager.
“„“I think whether it’s me or somebody else, it’s going to probably happen.
“„“Now, would you rather deal with the devil that you know or the devil that you don’t know?”
As mayor Bing could ask the state to review the city’s finances. This would initiate a process that could lead to appointment of an Emergency Manager.
Bing has been unable to implement a deficit-elimination plan that relies on cutting pensions and employee benefits.
