  • DETROIT (WJBK) -
    Detroit is a godforsaken place. Everyone knows that. Detroit is a mess, no doubt. Here's the thing: some of the factors that put Detroit $18 billion in debt could be factors in your town.
    Cities all over the country are struggling to pay for health care and retiree pensions. They're seeing revenues from property taxes and sales taxes drop as they try to pay for expensive projects that were approved before the recession.
    Charlie takes a look at what happens when a city doesn't have that proverbial pot to, well, you know.
    Vital city services were cut to the bone and people are dying because police, fire and ambulances don't show up when someone calls 911.
    That said, Detroit is on the brink of a comeback. Charlie shows us how the Emergency Manager is rubbing pennies together to bring back those city services.

    Glad they're making steps to clean up corruption, When public services are underfunded people get hurt.

    Great job. God bless the Police. Human Angels, same as Firemen. The people who dont like the police belong in jail cause there criminals. Its ashame that you pht your livrs on the line everyday then have to take a paycut. The system is broken and needs to be fixed starting at the very top. God bless and stay safe.

    I think that educated people i.e. politicians have to go back to school. Because so far right now all I see is disasters whatever they have done. For the diplomas that they received whichever schools they came from are useless except perhaps as a decoration mounted on walls to show to people that they're "educated" and deserve to be respected and trusted in their works. And the people who respect and trust them are the victims of these "educated" mass of their "expertise" and "knowledge"...or just plain mediocrities? or stupidity?
