This was a topic on this forum a few years back. Detroit has already been thru the process as well as Benton Harbor, I think, and several school districts. I for one do not believe that the State should be able come in and take over a city and neuter the elected officials that were put into office by the voters. On the other hand how can corrupt officials be allowed to bankrupt a city and destroy it's ability to exist if the electorate can't seem to be able to choose people who can competently run a city government.
