A False Dawn for Detroit

Recently, I posted about some inklings of good news for the beleaguered city.  In the past few days, it has made a turn for the bleaker.  Mayor Dave Bing muses about the need for a state takeover of the city, with the possibility that its cash may be exhausted by February.  The town of Highland Park, which lies within the footprint of surrounding Detroit, has followed through on its plans to have all the streetlights removed for lack of funds.
