Mind-bendingly huge like the mayor forcibly removing the elected city officials and installing emergency city managers to cut down on the corruption and bureaucracy? Mind-bendingly huge like the largest US city to ever successfully declare bankruptcy ($18.5 billion in debt)?

Because that's what happened. Now we wait to see if it works.

> the mayor forcibly removing the elected city officials and installing emergency city managers

The Detroit emergency financial manager was appointed by Michigan Governor Rick Scott against the loud and outspoken wishes of the citizens and elected officials of the City of Detroit.

Rick Snyder, and I'm not sure if you're trying to say something beyond what I was saying.

edit - sorry, I guess I wrote mayor instead of governor. Thanks for the correction.
